Do I have to change my name? • Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight? • 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 simpathy • little company
I tried to find a friend • It's more easily said • It's always been the same
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life • Is not for me
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life • Is not for free
American life
I live the 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 somehow I forgot • just what I did it for • and why I wanted more
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life • is it for me?
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life • is it for free?
[5+] [5+]
Do I have to change my name? • Will it get me far?
[5+] [5+]
Should I lose some weight? • I gonna be a star?

I'm drinking a soy latte • I get a double shotte
It goes right through my body • And you know I'm satisfied
I dropped 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've got a lawyer and a manager • An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant • And a driver and a jet
trainer and a butler • And a bodyguard or five
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?
I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name?
