Do I have to change my name? 
Will it get me far? 
Should I lose some weight? 
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 modem life - 
Is it for me? 
This type of modem life - 
Is it for free? 

I went to a bar looking for 
sympathy 
[bad word] - 
I tried to find a friend 
It’s more easily said 
It's always been the same 
This type of modem life - 
Is it for me? 
This type of modem life - 
Is it for free? 

 [bad word]  
American life 
I live the American dream 
You are the best thing 
I've seen 
You are not just a dream 

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 modem life - 
Is it for me? 
This type of modem life - 
Is it for free? 
Do I have to change my name? 
Will it get me far? 
Should I lose some weight? 
I gonna be a star? 

 [bad word] 

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-drooper 
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 metaphysic's [bad word] 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 
trainer and a butler 
And a bodyguard or five 
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
