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 simpathy A little company
I tried to find a friend It's more easily said It's always been the same
F#m [5+] [5+]
This type of modern life Is not for me
[5+] [5+]
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
F#m [5+] [5+]
This type of modern life is it for me?
[5+] [5+]
This type of modern life is it for free?
F#m [5+] [5+]
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 shotte
It goes right through my body And you know I'm satisfied
I dropped my mini cooper And I'm feeling super-duper
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've 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?
