madonna - american life (radio edit) lyrics

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

[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
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
this type of modern life, is not for me
this type of modern life, is not for free
[chorus]
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 life)

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

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

[chorus]
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 life)
(american life)
[verse 4]
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

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

[verse 5]
i’m drinking 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+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 metaphysics 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 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 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
[outro]
do i have to change my name? (american life)
am i gonna be a star? (i live the american dream)
do i have to change my name?
(american life) (i live the american dream)
