[bodytext] => 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 Chorus: 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? (chorus) 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 (Spoken:) ***** it Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star? Uh, uh, uh, uh (Spoken:) ***** it (Spoken:) 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 me 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 their bodies And you know I'm satisfied I'm diggin' on the isotope This metaphysics ***** 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 living out the American dream And I just realized 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?
