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

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

I 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 need to stay ahead

I tried to stay on top

Fuck it

Yeah, fuck it

I'm drinking a soy latte

I got a double shote (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 me I'm a tropper

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 the isotopies

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?

Am I gonna be a star?

Do I have to change my name?

Fuck it.......

I'm So Stupid

Cause I used to live

In a fuzzy dream

And I wanted to be

Like all the pretty people

I'm so stupid

Cause I used to live

In a fuzzy dream

And I used to believe

In pretty pictures

That were all around me

But now I know for sure

That I was stupid

Please don't try to tempt me

It was just greed

And it won't protect me

Don't want my dreams

Adding up to nothing

I was just looking for

Everybody's looking for something

I'm so stupid

Cause I used to live

In a tiny bubble

And I wanted to be

Like all the pretty people

That were all around me

But now I know for sure

That I was stupid

Stupider than stupid

Stupider than stupid

Stupider than stupid

Please don't try to tempt me

It was just greed

And it won't protect me

Don't want my dreams

Adding up to nothing

I was just looking for

Everybody's looking for something

Everybody's looking for something

Everybody's stupid stupid

Everybody's looking for something

Everybody's stupid stupid

Everybody's looking for something

Everybody's stupid stupid

Everybody's looking for something

Everybody, everybody

Please don't try to tempt me

It was just greed

And it won't protect me

Don't want my dreams

Adding up to nothing

I was just looking for

Everybody's looking for something

There are too many questions

There is not one solution

There is no resurrection

There is so much confusion

And the love perfusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love vibration

You make me feel

You make it shine

There are too many options

There is no consolation

I have lost my illusions

What I want is an explanation

And the love perfusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love direction

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin

There is no comprehension

There is real isolation

There is so much destruction

What I want is a celebration

And I know I can feel bad

When I get in a bad mood

And the world can look so sad

Only you make me feel good

I got you under my skin

(8x)

And the love profusion

You make me feel

You make me know

And the love intention

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

You make me shine

You make me feel

I got you under my skin

(8x)

And I know I can feel bad

When I get in a bad mood

And the world can look so sad

Only you make me feel good

I've had so many lives

Since I was a child

And I realise

How many times I've died

I'm not that kind of guy

Sometimes I feel shy

I think I can fly

Closer to the sky

No ones telling you how to live your life

But it's a setup

until you're fed up

This world is not so kind

People trap your mind

It's so hard to find

Someone to admire

I… I sleep much better at night

I feel closer to the light

Now I'm gonna try

To improve my life

No ones telling you how to live your life

But it's a setup until you're fed up

It's no good when you're misunderstood

But why should I care?

What the world thinks of me

Won't let a stranger

Give me a social disease

Nobody, nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Like you know me

(repeat)

No ones telling you how to live my life

But it's a setup, and I'm just fed up

It's no good when you're misunderstood

But why should I care?

What the world thinks of me

Won't let a stranger

Give me a social disease

I don't want no lies

I don't watch TV

I don't waste my time

Won't read a magazine

(repeat)

I… I sleep much better at night

I feel closer to the light

Now I'm gonna try

To improve my life

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Like you know me

(repeat)

Like, like you know me

Like you know me

(4x)

Its no fun but the damage is done

Don't want your social disease

Don't want your social disease

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Like you know me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Don't want your social disease

I don't want no lies

I don't watch TV

I don't waste my time

Won't read a magazine

I don't want no lies

I don't watch TV

Won't read a magazine

I'm in love with you

you silly thing

Anyone can see

What is it with you

you silly thing

Just take it from me

It was not a chance meeting

Feel my heart beating

You're the one

You could take all this

take it away

I'd still have it all

Cause I've climbed the tree of life

And that is why

no longer scared if I fall

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause, you're the one

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

You washed away my tears

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

Nothing fails

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

Makes me want to pray,

Pray you'll always be here

I'm not religious

But I feel such love

Makes me want to pray

When I get lost in space

I can return to this place

Cause, you're the one

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

I'm not religious

Makes me wanna pray

I'm not religious

But I feel so moved

I'm not religious

Makes me want to pray

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

You washed away my tears

Nothing fails

No more fears

Nothing fails

I got to save my baby

Because he makes me cry

I got to make him happy

I got to teach him how to fly

I want to take him higher

Way up like a bird in the sky

I got to calm him down now

I want to save his life

And I know that love will change us forever

And I know that love will keep us together

And I know, I know

There is nothing to fear

And I know that love

Will take us away from here

Sometimes it's such a pleasure

Sometimes I wanna tear it all down

It's easy to be lazy

And hard to go away from the crowd

I know the road looks lonely

But that's just Satan's game

And either way my baby

We'll never be the same

And I know that love will change us forever

And I know that love will keep us together

And I know, I know

There is nothing to fear

And I know that love

Will take us away from here

In the blink of an eye everything could change

Say hello to your life now your living

This is it from now on

It's a brand new day

It was time to wake up from this dream

(from this dream)

I know the road looks lonely

But that's just Satan's game

And either way my baby

You'll never be the same

And I know that love will change us forever

And I know that love will keep us together

And I know, I know

There is nothing to fear

And I know that love

Will take us away from here

I'm not myself when you're around,

I'm not myself standing in a crowd

I'm not myself and I don't know how,

I'm not myself, myself right now

Jesus Christ will you look at me ?

Don't know who I'm supposed to be

Don't really know if I should give a damn

when you're around,

I don't know who I am

I'm not myself when you go quiet,

I'm not myself alone at night

I'm not myself don't know who to call,

I'm not myself at all

Jesus Christ will you look at me ?

Don't know who I'm supposed to be

Don't really know if I should give a damn

when you're around,

I don't know who I am

I always wished that I could find

someone as beautiful as you

But in the process I forgot

that I was special too .

I'm not myself when you're around,

I'm not myself when you go quiet

I'm not myself all alone at night,

I'm not myself standing in a crowd

I'm not myself and I don't know how,

I'm not myself, myself right now

Don't know what I believe ........

Jesus Christ will you look at me ?

Don't know who I'm supposed to be

Don't really know if I should give a damn

when you're around,

I don't know who I am

I always wished that I could

find someone as beautiful as you,

But in the process I forgot that

I was special too .

I always wished that I could

find someone as talented as you,

But in the process I forgot

That I was just as good

as you

There was a time, I was happy in my life

There was time, I believed I'd live forever

There was a time, I prayed to Jesus Christ

There was a time, I had a mother

It was nice

Nobody else would ever take the place of you

Nobody else could do the things that you could do

No one else like you could hurt me like you did

I didn't understand, I was just a kid

Oh mother, why aren't you here with me

No one else saw the things that you could see

I'm trying hard to dry my tears

Yes father, you know I'm not so free

I got to give it up

Find someone to love me

I got to let it go

Find someone that I can care for

(repeat)

There was a time, I was happy in my life

There was time, I believed I'd live forever

There was a time, I prayed to Jesus Christ

There was a time, I has a mother, it was nice

Oh mother, why aren't you here with me

No one else saw the things that you could see

I'm trying hard to dry my tears

Yes father, you know I'm not so free

I got to give it up

Find someone to love me

I got to let it go

Find someone that I can care for

(repeat)

My mother died when I was five

And all I did was sit and cry

I cried and cried and cried all day

Until the neighbours went away

They couldn't take my loneliness

I could take their phoniness

My father had to go to work

I used to think he was a jerk

I didn't know his heart was broken

And not another word was spoken

He became the shadow of

The father I was dreaming of

I made a vow that I would never need

Another person ever

Turned my heart into a cage

A victim of a kind of rage

I got to give it up

I got to give it up

I got to give it up

I got to give it up

Find someone to love me

I got to let it go

Find someone that I can care for

I got to let it go

Find someone that I can care for

Find someone that I can care for

Find someone that I can care for

I got to give it up

(6x)

I got to let it go

I got to give it up

Oh mother, oh father

I gotta give it up

(6x)

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no

I'm gonna kiss, some part of

I'm gonna keep this secret

I'm gonna close my body now

I guess I'll die another day

(4x)

I guess I'll die another day, another day

(3x)

I guess I'll die another day

Analyse this

Analyse this

Analyse this, this, this….

I'm gonna break the cycle

I'm gonna shake up the system

I'm gonna destroy my ego

I'm gonna close my body now

I think I'll find another way

There's so much more to know

I guess I'll die another day

It's not my time to go

For every sin, I'll have to pay

A time to work, a time to play

I think I'll find another way

It's not my time to go

I'm gonna avoid the cliché

I'm gonna suspend my senses

I'm gonna delay my pleasure

I'm gonna close my body now

I guess I'll die another day

(4x)

I think I'll find another way

There's so much more to know

I guess I'll die another day

It's not my time to go

(Laugh)

I need to lay down

I guess I'll die another day

(4x)

Another day

(8x)

I want

the good life

But I don't want

an easy ride

What I want is to work for it

feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips

That's what I want for me

I want to know everything,

Maybe someday I will

What I want is to find my place

Breath the air and feel the sun

on my children's face

That's what I want

I go round and round just

like a circle

I can see a clearer picture,

when I touch the ground

I come full circle

To my place and I am home

I am home

I want

to let go of all

disappointment,

that's waiting for me

What I want

is to live forever

not be defined by time and space

It's a lonely place,

that's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle

I can see a clearer picture

when I touch the ground

I come full circle

To my place and I am home

I am home

I go round and round just like a circle

I can see a clearer picture

when I touch the ground

I come full circle

To my place and I am home

I am home

I go round and round just

I go round and round just
