[00:00.460]Do I have to change my name?
[00:02.160]Will it get me far?
[00:04.410]Should I lose some weight?
[00:06.350]Am I gonna be a star?
[00:08.790]
[00:18.070]I tried to be a boy
[00:21.400]I tried to be a girl
[00:23.750]I tried to be a mess
[00:26.080]I tried to be the best
[00:28.380]I guess I did it wrong
[00:30.680]That's why I wrote this song
[00:33.540]This type of modern life
[00:35.830]Is it for me?
[00:38.190]This type of modern life
[00:40.520]Is it for free?
[00:42.320]
[00:43.710]So I went into a bar
[00:47.150]Looking for sympathy
[00:49.500]A little company
[00:51.800]I tried to find a friend
[00:54.160]It's more easily said
[00:56.490]It's always been the same
[00:59.300]This type of modern life
[01:01.660]Is not for me
[01:03.960]This type of modern life
[01:06.310]Is not for free
[01:08.110]
[01:09.680]American life [American life]
[01:14.300]I live the American dream [American dream]
[01:18.780]You are the best thing I've seen
[01:22.950]You are not just a dream [American life]
[01:28.370]I tried to stay ahead
[01:31.610]I tried to stay on top
[01:33.950]I tried to play the part
[01:36.330]But somehow I forgot
[01:38.640]Just what I did it for
[01:40.950]And why I wanted more
[01:43.480]This type of modern life
[01:46.140]Is it for me?
[01:48.480]This type of modern life
[01:50.850]Is it for free?
[01:52.350]
[01:54.120]Do I have to change my name?
[01:57.050]Will it get me far?
[01:59.210]Should I lose some weight?
[02:01.190]Am I gonna be a star?
[02:03.480]American life [American life]
[02:08.100]I live the American dream [American dream]
[02:12.500]You are the best thing I've seen
[02:16.880]You are not just a dream [American life]
[02:22.830]
[02:30.410]American life
[02:32.180]I tried to be a boy
[02:34.920]Tried to be a girl
[02:37.240]Tried to be a mess
[02:39.620]Tried to be the best
[02:41.930]Tried to find a friend
[02:44.260]Tried to stay ahead
[02:46.570]I tried to stay on top
[02:48.950]Fuck it
[02:50.320]Do I have to change my name?
[02:53.210]Will it get me far?
[02:55.340]Should I lose some weight?
[02:57.140]Am I gonna be a star?
[02:59.790]Uh, Fuck it...
[03:08.830]I'm drinkin' a soy latte
[03:09.890]I get a double shoté
[03:11.170]It goes right through my body
[03:12.280]And you know I'm satisfied
[03:13.500]I drive my Mini Cooper
[03:14.560]And I'm feeling super-duper
[03:15.710]Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
[03:16.800]And you know I'm satisfied
[03:18.090]I do yoga and pilates
[03:19.220]And the room is full of hotties
[03:20.460]So I'm checking out their bodies
[03:21.510]And you know I'm satisfied
[03:22.780]I'm diggin' on the isotope
[03:23.990]This metaphysics shit is dope
[03:25.220]And if all this can give me hope
[03:26.370]You know I'm satisfied
[03:27.480]I got a lawyer and a manager
[03:28.560]An agent and a chef
[03:29.860]Three nannies, an assistant
[03:30.960]And a driver and a jet
[03:32.170]A trainer and a butler
[03:33.180]And a bodyguard or five
[03:34.500]A gardener and a stylist
[03:35.680]Do you think I'm satisfied?
[03:36.950]I'd like to express my extreme point-of-view
[03:39.270]I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
[03:41.500]I'm just living out the American dream
[03:43.820]And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
[03:50.240]
[03:51.540]Do I have to change my name?
[03:55.900]Am I gonna be a star?
[04:00.550]Do I have to change my name?
[04:05.300]Am I gonna be a star?
[04:09.950]Do I have to change my name?
