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 it for me?
  This type of modern life, is it for free?
  American Life 
  I live the American Dream 
  You are the best thing Ive seen
  You are not just a dream 
  American life
  American dream
  American life
  American dream
  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?
  Im drinking a soy latte
  I get a double shot-e
  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
  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...?
   Do I have to...?
  Do I have to change?
