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
Refrain:
American life [American life]
I live the
American dream [American dream]
You are the best thing I've seen
You are
not just a dream [American life]
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
(refrain)
American life
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
I tried to stay on top
Do I
have to change my name
Will it get me far
Should I lose some weight
Am
I gonna be a star
Uh, uh, uh, uh
(Rap:)
I'm
drinkin' a soy latte
I get a double shotie
It goes right through my
body
And you know I'm satisfied
I drive my mini cooper
And I'm feeling
super-duper
Yo they tell me 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
their bodies
And you know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the
isotopes
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
Everybody
comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the
smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so
good
Refrain:
Shine your light now
This time it's gotta
be good
You get it right now
'Cause you're in Hollywood
There's
something in the air in Hollywood
The sun is shining like you knew it
would
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it
feels so good
I lost my memory in Hollywood
I've had a million
visions, bad and good
There's something in the air in Hollywood
I tried to
leave it but I never could
(Refrain)
There's something in
the air in Hollywood
I've lost my reputation, bad and good
You're ridin'
in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so
good
Music stations always play the same songs
I'm bored with the
concept of right and wrong
Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna
make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How
could it hurt you when it looks so good
(Refrain)
'Cause
you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat
three times)
Check it out, this bird has
flown
(Refrain)
'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause
you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)
Push
the button
Don't push the button
Trip the station
Change the
channel
(repeat twice)
'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 the pretty pictures
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was stupid
Refrain:
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
(refrain)
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]
(refrain)
I've had so many lives
Since I was a child
And I realize
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 one's 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 one's 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
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Like you know me
No one's telling me 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
I don't want no lies
I don't watch TV
I don't waste my time
Won't read a magazine
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
*Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Like, like you know me
Like you know me
Like you know me
Like you know me
Like you know me
*(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, mmm]
[I'm not religious]
[Makes me wanna pray]
I'm not religious [I'm not religious]
But I feel so moved
Makes me want to pray [But I feel so moved, mmm]
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religious [I'm not religious]
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray [Makes me wanna pray]
[I'm not religious] I'm not religious, but it makes me wanna pray
[But I feel so moved, mmm] Makes me wanna pray
[I'm not religious] I'm not religious, but it makes me wanna pray
[Makes me wanna pray] Makes me wanna pray
[I'm not religious]
[But I feel so moved, mmm] Makes me wanna pray
[I'm not religious]
[Makes me wanna pray] Makes me wanna
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
Refrain:
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
(refrain)
In the blink of an eye everything could change
Say hello to your life, now you're 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 [And I know] that love [that love] will change us forever
And I know [And I know] that love [that love]
Will keep [that love] us together [that love]
Refrain:
And I know [And I know] that love [that love] will change us forever
And I know [And I know] that love [that love] will keep us together
And I know [And I know], I know [I know] there is nothing to fear
And I know [And I know] that love [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
Refrain:
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
(Refrain)
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
(Refrain)
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
