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 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
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
refrain
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 i’ve seen
you are not just a dream american life

i’m drinking a soy latte
i get a double shoté
it goes right through my body and you know i’m satisfied
i drive my mini cooper and i’m feeling superdooper
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 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 american life
am i gonna be a star i live the american dream
do i have to change my name american life
am i gonna be a star i live the american dream
do i have to change my name
american life i live the american dream
american life i live the american dream
american life i live the american dream
