Lyrics:
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?

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 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 I've seen,
You are not just a dream

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 tried to find a friend,
I tried to stay ahead
I tried to stay on top...

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

I'm drinking a Soy latte
I get a double shot
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
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 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 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
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name

What I do appreciate about this version of the video is that we get more footage of Madonna in that outfit. She looks ffffing fantastic. But the director’s cut is extraordinary and I’m so happy we’re getting it remastered in HD next week.

[purpleteardropss]

this song is so relatable with what is going on in the world right now... literally so many wars or crisis. people don't appreciate this song enough

[freedommealways]

Two decades ago, Madonna had already been a star for twenty years. This underrated classic is still listened to by many even to this day!

[ginasousabranco]

"I was able to make an album full of my own music that’s a complete success to me. If one person buys it and enjoys it that’s success to me."
- Madonna about American Life album

[Blank_Space]

This album made me fall in love with Madonna!!! I think it’s one of her most underrated albums, but it’s soo damn good!

[Sun.ce.]

my mom was a massive madonna fan. this was her favorite songs from her. she passed away very suddenly a few months ago and this just randomly popped into my recommend feed today. now it's kinda growing on me

[queanginfarrah]

Nobody can top Madonna, she is the greatest female artist of all time! ❤️

[michael]

This is among her most underrated work. American Life and Madonna have some of her greatest music, greatest videos and greatest messages!

[dachaperic]

One day when she is gone people will realize what artist this world had. She was always against war and pain, it is so relatable for this time.. I hope one day she uploads the Original video for this song, masterpiece #nowar

[escapingboredom]

This is one of her best albums. Period

[ginasousabranco]

This album is still relevant today. Ahead. Of. It’s. Time
Social identity, media, propaganda, isolation, family, politics, satire, what matters least/most ... incredible album

[giftyzanesuag]

She is the queen of the other female artists!

[elva]

When MTV was all about music, they played this video and the song was stuck in my head. Amazing song! Lov e from India! <3

[ginasousabranco]

American Life album was way ahead of its time, FAR BEYOND it’s time, fresh, authentic, amazing production, lyrics, unique distinctive sound, purety of Madonna voice and a wildly underrated, truly misunderstood masterpiece.
I need political Madonna back! It would be Paradise (For Me)

[eliasbarros]

Now we can understand these words, thanks Madonna for always being here opening the way for so many girlies in pop music, to speak their true and face the danger in industry. As you ever says: "artists are here to disturbe the peace".

[lordusett]

Best selling female artist of all time

[kooknukem]

There are some great songs on this album. When all is said and done Madonna will have left behind some fabulous music. That’s a good thing!

[strictlyprohibit]

If you can feel Madonna's love and presence, you get this.

[giftyzanesuag]

Madonna is the queen of the other pop artists!!!!
