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 best thing I've see
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 best thing I've see
You are not just a dream
American life

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
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
Uh Fuck it
Uh Fuck it
Uh Fuck it
Uh Fuck it
I'm drinkin' a so lucky
I get a double shoty
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And I'm feeling super dupe
Yo they tell me I'm a troope
And you know I'm satisfie
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out their bodie
And you know I'm satisfie
I'm diggin' on the isoto
This metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I'm satisfie
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
Am I gonna be a star
Do I have to change my name
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
