a much misunderstood song this, at least in the UK. it's not saying that north americans are scum, it's James Murphy getting pissed off with a racist generalisation about the country he's from. and he's right - there's good and bad in america and you shouldn't judge a person by their government.
these are the key lines:
"i hate the feelin' when you're looking at me that way
cause we're north americans
but if we act all shy, it’ll make it ok
makes it go away."
important sentiment, i can't believe no one (journalists, music fans) gets it.
@jameskendall and yet, here we are, judging all Russians by their government. Banning their athletes from competitions including their disabled athletes.
What's good for the goose etc.
