Em
Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star?
Em
Em
I, tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl
B
I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best
A
I guess I did it wrong, That's why I wrote this song
Em
This type of modern life - Is it for me
This type of modern life - Is it for free
Em
So, I went into a bar looking for sympathy
B
A little company - I tried to find a friend
A
It's more easily said it's always been the same
Em
This type of modern life - Is not for me
This type of modern life - Is not for free
Em Bm
A____merican life
Em Bm
I live the American Dream
Am Bm
You are the best thing I've seen,
Am Bm
You are not just a dream
Em
I, tried to stay ahead, I tried to stay on top
B
I tried to play the part, but somehow I forgot
A
Just what I did it for and why I wanted more
Em
This type of modern life - Is not 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?
Em Bm
A____merican life
Em Bm
I live the American Dream
Am Bm
You are the best thing I've seen,
Am Bm
You are not just a dream
Am Bm Am Bm
Em
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
Uh, fuck it
Uh, fuck it
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-duper,
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 realised 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?
Fuck it
