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 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 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 Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star? Oh (4x) I'm drinking 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 feeling super-doper 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 --- 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?
