Teenage pornstars, living for nothing now.
Nightlife baby, Ooo ohaooo.
Look out, shape up, before you get to turn around.
Wake up honey, Ooo ohaooo.
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
Pretty as a picture, I'm dancing the night away.
And don't stop baby, Ooo ohaooo.
I learned my way, I'm living for something now.
It's hardcore honey, Ooo ohaooo.
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
We're not living in America x4
We're not liviiing!!
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
My baby, sweet baby, Ohh baby baby baby baby aahhhh..
Nightlife baby, Ooo ohaooo.
Look out, shape up, before you get to turn around.
Wake up honey, Ooo ohaooo.
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
Pretty as a picture, I'm dancing the night away.
And don't stop baby, Ooo ohaooo.
I learned my way, I'm living for something now.
It's hardcore honey, Ooo ohaooo.
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
We're not living in America x4
We're not liviiing!!
We're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry.
No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry.
No we don't care about the world today.
We're not sorry for you.
My baby, sweet baby, Ohh baby baby baby baby aahhhh..

"We don't care about the world today" is most likely a play on the ignorance of many Americans. Many Americans are oblivious to the fact that the rest of the world not only does not look up to America, but actually despise America for its foreign policies.
Just my view.
NB: Many does not equal most. Just means many.
Personally, I love this song, but I don't think it has anything to do with putting Americans in their place. I think America is a metaphor for what's considered modern living (get lots of money, have a normal job, etc. What PacificToast said, really.), which is what the band is rejecting. The speaker would have to switch for that one line "We don't care about the world today" for it to apply to 'Americans' in that interpretation. The rest of the chorus is clearly the band's POV, so this doesn't make sense. I think that line is meant as, "We don't care about this modern standard".
