American Life (Live)

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 [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 dream] [American life American dream] 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? I'm drinkin' 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-duper 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 their bodies And you know I'm satisfied I'm diggin' on the isotope This metaphysics 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 a 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? [American Life American Dream] [American Life American Dream] Do I have to change?
