* 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?

[Repeat * , **]

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

F**k it
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 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 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
