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
lookin' 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
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
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
American life
I live the american dream
You are
The best thing I've seen
You are
Not just a dream
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
Tried to stay on top
Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
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 feelin' super-dooper
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 checkin' out the bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotopes
This metaphysic's **** 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 livin' out
the American dream
And I just realized that
nothin' is what it seems
Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star
Do I have to change my name
