I Am Not American Lyrics
I AM NOT AMERICAN - The Arrogant Worms
(If you want to be really picky, you can add an sus4 chord before the last chord
in each of the verses. See Verse 5 for an example. Only for the completest!)
Intro: A E A B A
Verse 1:
I am not American,
Though I live in North America
Which is part of the Americas
Which should make me an American
Verse 2: (Same chords as Verse 1)
Geographically Canadians,
Are certainly Americans
As are Venezuelans,
But not Hawaiians
Chorus 1:
They're out in the middle of the Ocean
Just like the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Who really shouldn't say they are Americans,
Or even virgins
Verse 3:
How did two whole continents,
Lose their name to one constituent?
Where were we when the U.S. went,
And took the word American away?
Verse 4: (Same as Verse 3 chords)
But to be fair to them,
Their other name options,
Like U.S.A.ers or United Statesians,
Were pretty bad
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1)
Still I want to be as American,
As the French are European,
Or those in Antarctica are Antarctican
Even if they're just penguins
Verse 5: (Same as Verse 3)
That leaves us Canadians
As Northern North Americans,
But Alaska's Norther curse them
We're surrounded by Americans. Americans!
Verse 6:
I just called those U.S.A.ers Americans
A name meant for two continents not just them
For if I said I was American,
People would probably think I came from Maine
Chorus 3:
Still I think I have a plan,
Let's become Antarctican,
And join up with the penguins
For just like them, we're not American!
