do i have to change my name
will it get me far
should i loose some weight
am i gonna be a star
(Verse)
I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
I've tried to be a mess
I've tried to be the best
I guess I did it wrong
That why i wrote this song
This type of modern life
Easy for me
This type of modern life
Easy for free
So i went into a bar
Looking for simplasy
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
Enough for me
This type of modern life
Enough for free
(Chorus)
Ohh 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)
(Verse)
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
Easy for me
This type of modern life
Easy for free
do i have to change my name
will it get me far
should i loose some weight
am i gonna be a star
(Chorus)
American life
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
do i have to change my name
will it get me far
should i loose some weight
am i gonna be a star
oh fuck it (4x)
(rapped)
I'm drinkin' a soy latte
I get a double shotie
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 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 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
