American Life

American Life - Madonna

Lyrics by：Mirwais Ahmadzaï

Composed by：Mirwais Ahmadzaï

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 it for me

This type of modern life is it for free

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

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

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

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

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 mooper and I'm feeling 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 checking out the bodies and you know I'm satisfied

I'm digging on the isotopes

This metaphysics s**t is d**e

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 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

Am I gonna be a star

Do I have to change my name
