Madonna American Life (Peter Rauhofer American Anthem) Lyrics

I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
This type of modern life
Is it for me

I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
This type of modern life
Is it for free

I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
This modern life
Is it for me

I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
This modern life
Is it for free

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
f___ it

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 dream)

American life
American dream
American dream

Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star

Am I gonna be a star
Am I gonna be a star
Am I gonna be a star
Am I gonna be a star
Am I gonna be a star
American life
American dream

Am I gonna be a star
American life
American dream
Am I gonna be a star

I'm drinkin' 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 super-duper
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 checkin' out the bodies and you know I'm
satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotopes, this metaphysics s___ 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 a__istant 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 livin' out the American dream
And I just realized that nothin' is what it seems
