| 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)
|
| 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 |
