madonna - american life (oakenfold downtempo remix) lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[break]
this type of modern life, is it for me?
this type of modern life, is it for free?

[verse 2]
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

[break]
this type of modern life, is not for me?
this type of modern life, is not for free?

[chorus]
american life
i live the american dream
you are the best thing i’ve seen
you are not just a dream

[verse 3]
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

[break]
this type of modern life, is not for me?
this type of modern life, is not for free?

[refrain]
do i have to change my name?
will it get me far?
should i lose some weight?
am i going to be a star?

[chorus]
american life
i live the american dream
you are the best thing i’ve seen
you are not just a dream
american life
i live the american dream
you are the best thing i’ve seen
you are not just a dream

[verse 4]
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
f-ck it

[verse 5]
i’m drinking a soy latte
i get a double shot-e
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 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 sh-t 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 -ssistant, 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

[pre-outro]
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?

[outro]
american life
i live the american dream
american life
i live the american dream
american life
i live the american dream
