When I go beyond our shores

I have to answer for

The Orange Man's views

I don't have the ability

To explain what they see

On their evening news

These jerks on TV

Do not represent me, oh no

They're just embarrassing arrogant national fools

And being lumped in with them is just cruel

So when (whoa)

She asks me if I'm American (whoa)

I know she'll judge me if I say I am (whoa)

So I say that I'm from somewhere else

And when (whoa)

She hears my accent and she asks again (whoa)

I'll say that I learned English watching Friends (whoa)

And I swear that I'm from somewhere else

I have but few vacation days

I won't throw them away

Explaining his crazy ways

In a world filled with rage

I don't want to engage

I could say I dissent but instead

I just set it aside

And point to my maple leaf pin with pride

So it comes (whoa)

To the point where she asks where I'm from (whoa)

I tilt my head and then try to play dumb (whoa)

And then I say that I'm from somewhere else

Illogical and irate

He's on a new tirade

All his bitching and complaining

It can be so draining

'Cause you're stuck explaining

All of the things that he does

(Why is that now my job?)

And When (whoa)

She asks me if I'm American (whoa)

I'll say "I just want Obama back again" (whoa)

Till then I'll say I'm from somewhere else

And when (whoa)

She hears my accent and she asks again (whoa)

I'll say that I learned English watching Friends (whoa)

And I swear that I'm from somewhere else
