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 shot�
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 a**istant 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
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
