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
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 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?

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
I tried 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?
Ahh fuck it, ahh fuck it
Ahh fuck it, ahh fuck it

(Rap)
I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shote
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 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?
Do I have to change my name?
