Madonna - American Life (American Dream Remix) 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

Do I have to change my name?

[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

I tried to stay ahead, I tried to stay on top

I tried to play the part, but some how 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 (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 be a boy, I tried to be a girl

I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best

I try to find a friend , I tried to stay ahead

I try 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?

Ah, fuck it

Ah, fuck it

Ah, fuck it

Ah, fuck it, uh-huh

[Rap]

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 palates

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?
