American life


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

Chorus:

American life [American life]
I live the American dream [American dream]
You are the best thing I've 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?

(chorus)

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

(Spoken:)
Fuck it

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

Uh, fuck it
(repeat 3 times)

(Spoken:)
I'm drinkin' a soy latte
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And I'm feeling super duper
Yo they tell me 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 their bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotope
This metaphysics 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 a 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? [American life]
Am I gonna be a star? [I'm the American dream]
Do I have to change my name? [American life]
Am I gonna be a star? [I'm the American dream]
Do I have to change my name?

[American life]
[I'm the American dream]
(repeat and fade)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone (Bay City, 16 agosto 1958) è una cantautrice, attrice, scrittrice, regista, ballerina e produttrice discografica, stilista e cinematografica statunitense, molto popolare in tutto il mondo sin dagli anni ottanta. Molti ritengono che il nome "Madonna" sia solo il nome d?arte scelto dalla cantante per provocazione: in realtà Madonna è il suo nome di battesimo ed era anche il nome di sua madre. Diva capace di attirare l?attenzione dell?opinione pubblica con i suoi comportamenti e i suoi videoclip, parallelamente al collega ed amico Michael Jackson che ha conquistato l'appellativo "Re del Pop", Madonna si è guadagnata il soprannome di "Regina del Pop". Secondo il Guinness dei primati e il Billboard Magazine, Madonna è l?artista femminile che ha guadagnato e venduto di più in tutti i tempi, stimando in oltre un miliardo di dischi venduti, tra album in studio e raccolte (delle quali oltre 200 milioni solo negli Stati Uniti) e oltre 250 milioni di singoli.
