American Life lyrics

Artist  : Madonna 
Song : American Life



 Send "American Life" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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
ThatÆs 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
ItÆs more easily said
ItÆs 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 IÆve 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 IÆve seen
You are not just a dream (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


Do I have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am I gonna be a star


Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh


IÆm drinkinÆ a soy latte, I get a double shotÚ 
It goes right through my body and you know IÆm
satisfied
I drive my mini Cooper and IÆm feeling
super-duper
YoÆ, they tell IÆm a trooper and you know IÆm
satisfied
I do yoga and Pilates and the room is full of
hotties
So IÆm checkinÆ out the bodies and you know IÆm
satisfied
IÆm digginÆ on the isotopes, this metaphysics
s*** is
dope
And if all this can give me hope you know IÆm
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 IÆm
satisfied
IÆd like to express my extreme point of view
IÆm not a Christian and IÆm not a Jew
IÆm just livinÆ out the American dream
And I just realized that nothinÆ is what it seems


Do I have to change my name
Am I gonna be a star
Do I have to change my name
