Madonna - American Life
Lyrics:Madonna/Mirwais Ahmadzai
Music:Madonna/Mirwais Ahmadzai
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
Thats 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
Its more easily said
Its 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 Ive 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 Ive seen
You are not just a dream
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
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?
Uh, Fuck it...
Im drinkin a soy latte
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And you know Im satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And Im feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me Im a trooper
And you know Im satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So Im checking out their bodies
And you know Im satisfied
Im diggin on the isotope
This metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know Im 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 Im satisfied?
Id like to express my extreme point-of-view
Im not a Christian and Im not a Jew
Im 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?
