Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [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) [Verse 3] 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 not for me This type of modern life, is not for free [Refrain] Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I going to 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) 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) [Verse 4] 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 tried to find a friend I tried to stay ahead I tried to stay on top Fuck it [Verse 5] 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 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 of 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 livin' out the American dream And I just realized that nothin' is what it seems [Refrain] 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? [Outro] (American life, I live the American Dream) (American life, I live the American Dream) (American life, I live the American Dream) (American life)
