"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?
I
went into a bar looking for sympathy
A
little company - I tried to find a friend
Its
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 I live the american dream
You
are the best thing I've seen,
You
are not just a dream
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 I live the american dream
You
are the best thing I've seen,
You
are not just a dream
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
tried to find a friend, I tried to stay ahead
I
tried to stay on top...
Fuck
it... Yeah, Fuck it
I'm
drinking a Soy latte
I get
a double shote
It
goes right 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
metaphysic's 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
Am I
gonna be a star?
Do I
have to change my name
Fuck
it...
