  I tried to be a girl
  This modern life, is it for me?
  I tried to be a mess
  I tried to be the best
  This modern life, is it for free?

  I tried to stay on top
  This modern life, is it for me?
  I tried to play the part
  But somehow I forgot

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

  Im drinking a soy latte
  I get a double shoté
  It goes right through my body, and you know Im satisfied
  I drive my Mini Cooper, and Im feeling super-dooper
  Yo, they tell Im a trooper, and you know Im satisfied
  I do yoga and pilates, and the room is full of hotties
  So Im checking out the bodies, and you know Im satisfied
  Im digging on the isotopes, this metaphysics shit is dope
  And if all this can give me hope, you know Im 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 Im satisfied?
  Id like to express my extreme point of view
  Im not a Christian and Im not a Jew
  Im just living out the American dream
  And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
