Madonna — American Life Radio Edit Without Rap

[Refrain] Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star? [Verse 1] 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 [Break] This type of modern life, is it for me? This type of modern life, is it for free? [Verse 2] 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 [Break] This type of modern life, is not for me This type of modern life, is not for free [Chorus] American life I live the American dream You are the best thing I've seen You are not just a dream American life [Verse 3] 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 [Break] This type of modern life, is it for me? This type of modern life, is it for free? [Refrain] 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 live the American dream You are the best thing I've seen You are not just a dream American life American life [Verse 4] 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 [Refrain] Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I going to be a star? [Break] Do I have to change my name? Am I going to be a star? Do I have to change my name? Am I going to be a star? Do I have to change my name? [Instrumental Outro]
