Capo 1

no chords
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?
Oh 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?
Oh 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
~~~~~~~ (bis zum Ende)
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...
it...
Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
Ah ah ah ah
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-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 Christian and I m not a Jude
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
