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
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
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, fuck it
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it
Ahh, fuck it
I'm drinking a Soy latte, I get a double 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 I'm a trooper and you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and palates, 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 metaphysic's 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 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?
