paroles de chanson American Life (Peter Rauhofer's American Anthem, Pt. 1) - Madonna

I tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
This type of modern life, is it for me?
I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
This type of modern life, is it for free?
(Free, free, free, free)

I tried to be a boy
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?
(Free, free, free, free)

I tried to be a boy
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?
(Free, free, free, free)
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
Fuck it

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 dream)
I live the American dream
(American dream)
You are the best thing I've seen
You are not just a dream
(American dream)
(American life)
(American dream)
(American dream)

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

I'm drinking a soy latte, I get a double shote
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 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 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
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 of five
A gardner, 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 nothin is what it seems
