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,
|
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...
|
|
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?
|
|
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 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 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
|
