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. Thats 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 Its more easily said its always been the same This type of modern life Is not for me ? This type of modern life Is not for free ? American life I live the American dream You are the best thing Ive 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 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 I live the American dream You are the best thing Ive seen, You are not just a dream I I I I tried tried tried tried to to to to be a boy, I tried to be a girl be a mess, I tried to be the best find a friend, I tried to stay ahead stay on top...

Im drinking a soy latte I get a double shote It goes right through my body And you know Im satisfied I drive a mini cooper And Im feeling super-dooper Yo they tell Im a trooper And you know Im satisfied I do Yoga and pilates And the room is full of hotties So Im checking out the bodies And you know Im satisfied Im digging on the isotopes This metaphysics shit is dope And if all this can give me hope You know Im 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 gardner and a stylist Do you think Im satisfied Id like to express my extreme point of view Im not Christian and Im not a Jew Im just living out the American dream And I just realised 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 Am I gonna be a star ? Do I have to change my name Fuck it... * * & & * *

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
