Песня: American Life Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?
I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best I guess I did it wrong, That's why I wrote this song This type of modern life - Is it for me? This type of modern life - Is it for free?
So I went in to a bar, looking for sympathy A little company - I tried to find a friend It's more easily said, it's always been the same This type of modern life is not for me This type of modern life is not for free
American life (American life) I live the American dream (American dream) You are the best thing I've seen You are not just a dream (American life)
I tried to stay ahead, I tried to stay on top I tried to play the part, but somehow I forgot Just what I did it for and why I wanted more This type of modern life - Is it for me? This type of modern life - Is it for free?
Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?
American life (American life) I live the American dream (American dream) You are the best thing I've seen You are not just a dream (American life X2)
I tried to be a boy, tried to be a girl tried to be a mess, tried to be the best tried to find a friend, tried to stay ahead I tried to stay on top ...
Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?
I'm drinking a Soy latte, I get a double shotte, It goes through my body, And you know I'm satisfied I drive my Mini Cooper And I'm feeling super-dooper Yo they tell I'm a trooper And you know I'm satisfied I do yoga and Pilates And the room is full of hotties So I'm checking out the bodies And you know I'm satisfied I'm digging on the isotopes This metaphysics shit is dope And if all this can give me hope You know I'm satisfied I got a lawyer and a manager An agent and a chef Three nannies, an assistant And a driver and a jet A trainer and a butler And a bodyguard or five A gardener and a stylist Do you think I'm satisfied? I'd like to express my extreme point of view I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew I'm just living out the American dream And I just realised that nothing Is what it seems
Do I have to change my name Am I gonna be a star Do I have to change my name
