Academia, La - American Life lyrics

American Life

Do I´ve to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I going to 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 is 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 is more easily said
It is always been the same
This type of modern life
Isn´t for me
This type of modern life
Isn´t for free

Chorus:

American life [American life]
I live the American dream [American dream]
You´re the best thing I have seen
You´re 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´ve to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I going to be a star?

(chorus)

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
I tried to stay on top

(Spoken:)
F*ck it

Do I´ve to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I going to be a star?

Uh, uh, uh, uh

(Spoken:)
F*ck it

(Spoken:)
I am drinkin´ a soy latte
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And you know I am satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And I am feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me I am a trooper
And you know I am satisfied
I do yoga & pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I am checking out their bodies
And you know I am satisfied
I am diggin´ on the isotope
This metaphysics shit´s dope
And if all this can give me hope
You know I am satisfied
I got a lawyer & a manager
An agent & a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver & a jet
A trainer & a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener & a stylist
Do you think I am satisfied?

I would like to express my extreme point-of-view
I am not a Christian & I am not a Jew
I am just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing´s what it seems

Do I´ve to change my name?
Am I going to be a star?
Do I´ve to change my name?
