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
Thats 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
Its more easily said
Its 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 Ive 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 Ive 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

Im drinkin a soy latte, I get a double shot
It goes right through my body and you know Im
satisfied
I drive my mini Cooper and Im feeling super-duper
Yo, they tell Im a trooper and you know Im
satisfied
I do yoga and Pilates and the room is full of hotties
So Im checkin out the bodies and you know Im
satisfied
Im diggin on the isotopes, this metaphysics s*** is
dope
And if all this can give me hope you know Im
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 Im satisfied
Id like to express my extreme point of view
Im not a Christian and Im not a Jew
Im 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
