Madonna American Life Lyrics

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
I 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 the best thing I've seen
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 the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream

American life

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 tried to find a friend,
I need 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?

f___ it
Yeah, f___ it

I'm drinking a soy latte
I got a double shote (shot)
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling super-dooper
Yo they tell me I'm a tropper
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 the isotopies
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 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?
f___ it.......
