prima dona - 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
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]
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
(chorus)
american life
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
do i have to change my name
will it get me far
should i lose some weight
am i gonna be a star
uh, uh, uh, uh
(spoken:)
i’m drinkin’ a soy latte
i get a double shotie
it goes right through my body
and you know i’m satisfied
i drive my mini cooper
and i’m feeling super-duper
yo they tell me 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 their bodies
and you know i’m satisfied
i’m diggin’ 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 -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 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
