text: 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
  Thats 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
  Its more easily said
  Its 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 Ive 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
  I live the American dream
  You are the best thing Ive seen
  You are not just a dream
  American life
  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
  Tried to stay on top
  Do I have to change my name?
  Will it get me far?
  Should I lose some weight?
  Am I going to be a star?
  Do I have to change my name?
  Am I going to be a star?
  Do I have to change my name?
  Am I going to be a star?
  Do I have to change my name?
