Artist: Madonna Album: American Life Title: 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 into 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)
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
Oh Oh Oh Oh
I’m drinkin’ a soy latte, I get a double shoté It goes right through my body and you know I’m satisfied I drive my mini Cooper and I’m feeling super-duper 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 checkin’ out the bodies and you know I’m satisfied I’m diggin’ on the isotopes, this metaphysics s*** 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 a Christian and I’m not a Jew I’m just livin’ out the American dream And I just realized that nothin’ is what it seems
Do I have to change my name Am I gonna be a star Do I have to change my name
