Prima Dona - American Life Lyrics

Send "American Life" ringtone to your cell

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

Do I have to change my name

Will it get me far

Should I lose some weight

Am I gonna be a star

Uh uh uh uh

(Spoken:)

I'm drinkin' a soy latte

I get a double shotie

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 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 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

Am I gonna be a star

Do I have to change my name
