American Life

American Life - DJ In the Night

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 in to a bar

Looking for sympathy

A little company

I tried to find a friend

It's not 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

American life

I live in 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

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

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

I'm I'm I'm I'm

I'm drinking a soy latte

I get a double shotte it

Goes all through my

Body

And you know I'm satisfied

I drive my mini cooper

And I'm feeling super dooper

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 the bodies

And you know I'm satisfied

I'm digging on the isotopes

This metaphysics sh*t is d**e

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 realised

That nothing

Is what it seems

Do I have to change my name

My drem

Am I gonna be a star

Do I have to change my name

Saw a beautiful life

Saw a beautiful life
