American Life
Madonna

(Bridge) 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

(Chorus) 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

…..repeat (Bridge) and (Chorus)…..

…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

(Spoken) ..…Fuck it….…..
.....repeat (Bridge)…..
…..Uh, uh, uh, uh…(Spoken) ..…Fuck it….

(Spoken) I'm drinkin' a soy latte, I get a double shotie
It goes right through my body and you know I'm satisfied
I drive my mini cooper and I'm feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me 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 their bodies and you know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotope, 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…
…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…
