SINGER: Madonna

SONG:American Life

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 tries 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, 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 tried 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?

Fuck it...
Yeah, Fuck it

I�m drinking a soy latte
I get a double shote
It goes right through my body
And you know I�m satisfied

I drive a 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 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 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 gardner 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 realised 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

Fuck it...
