Madonna - American Life - Director's Cut Lyrics

 Madonna - American Life - Director's Cut Lyrics

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 (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)

(American life)

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 tried to find a friend

I 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?

Aah (Fuck it)

Aah (Fuck it)

Aah (Fuck it)

Aah (Fuck it)

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 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 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 realised that nothing

Is what it seems

Do I have to change my name? (American life)

Am I gonna be a star? (I live the American dream)

Do I have to change my name? (American life)

Am I gonna be a star? (I live the American dream)

Do I have to change my name? (American life)

(I live the American dream) (American life)

(I live the American dream) (American life)

(I live the American dream)
