Madonna - American Life
Lyrics by:Madonna/Mirwais Ahmadzaï
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 it for me
This type of modern life is it for free
American life
American life
I live the 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
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream
American life
Oh yeah tried to bug to soul
Oh yeah I hang on bug at of you
Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star
Oh f**k it
Oh f**k it
Oh f**k it
Oh f**k it
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 s**t is d**e
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
F**k it
F**k it
F**k it
F**k it
F**k it
