    Lyrics:
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh
    Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
    We are North Americans
    And for those of you who still think we're from England
    We're not, no
    We’ve been on planes and on trains 'til we think we might die
    Far from North America
    Where the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes
    Uh-huh, oh, oh
    I hate the feelin' when you're lookin' at me that way
    'Cause we're North Americans
    But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
    Makes it go away
    Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
    When we're North American
    But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again
    Come on, North Americans
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
    We are North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
    We're from North America
    And all the kids, all the kids don’t wanna make a scene
    Here in North America
    When all your kids get to read it in your magazines
    We don't have those
    So where's the love? Where's the love? Where's the love?
    Where's the love? Where's the love, tonight?
    But there's no love, man, there's no love when the kids are uptight
    Uh, uh
    So throw a party ‘til the cops come in and bust it up
    Let's go, North Americans
    Oh, you were planning it? I didn't mean to interrupt
    Sorry
    I did it once and my parents got pretty upset
    Freaked out in North America
    But then I said, "The more I do it, the better it gets"
    That's my North America
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
    We are North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
    We're from North America
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
    We are North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
    We are North American
    New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
    Wahoo, North America
    And it's the furthest you can live from the government
    Uh-huh, huh
    Some fat American Christians might disagree
    Here in North America
    But New York's the only place we keep them off the street
    Ooh, ooh
    Now, we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night
    Shut down in North America
    Or like Berlin where they go another night, alright
    Uh-huh, uh-huh
    You see, I love this place that I have grown to know
    Alright, North America
    And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten-foot pole
    'Cause we're North Americans
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
    We are North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
    We are North Americans
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
    We are North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
    We love North America
    (Ah-ah) Take me back to the states, man
    North American scum
    (Ah-ah) Where we can be in any one of a million new bands
    North America
    (Ah-ah) Where the DJ gigs aren't as fun
    Here in North American scum
    (Ah-ah) But don't blame the Canadians
    Look out, North America

    I've never heard this song from them before. This song was playing during the end credits of a show I was watching , and I immediately thought... "Surely this is LCD Sound System". So, I searched LCD Sound System "North Americans" & it brought me here. Glad I was right; even though I didn't get the name of the song exactly correct. Their sound is just so distinctive recognizable; and good. Keep on keepin' on LCDSS don't ever change. (p.s. the show was The Dropout)
