Fm~~~ I tried to be a boy, I tried to be a girl 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? Oh 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 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? Oh 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) American life Fm~~~~~~~ (bis zum Ende) Ah ah ah ah I'm drinking a Soy latte Do I have to change my name Do I have to change my name
