Madonna - 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  I live the american dream  You are the best thing I've seen,  You are not just a dream 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  I live the american dream  You are the best thing I've seen,  You are not just a dream 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 lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?

I'm drinking 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-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 metaphysic's 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 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  Am I gonna be a star? Do I have to change my name
