American Life (Live At The Coliseu Dos Recreios, Lisbon, Portugal)

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, isn't for me
This type of modern life, isn't for free

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?

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)
Oh, yeah, he tried to fuck us over
Oh, yeah, but he won't fuck me up, oh, yeah

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

A- fuck it
A- fuck it
A- fuck it
A- fuck it

I'm drinking 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-dooper
Yo, they tell I'm a trooper, and you know I'm satisfied

I do yoga and pilates, 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 metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope, you know I'm satisfied

Lawyer, manager, 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? (I'm madame x)
Am I gonna be a star? (I'm madame x)
Do I have to change my name? (I'm madame x)
Am I gonna be a star? Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it
Fuck it
