好啦~這首歌還是放上來好了。雖然並不是我平常會聽的曲風。但,副歌的那部份,卻不知為何,偶爾就會在我的腦海中旋轉著。
Chorus:
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]
那剩下的,就是一般嘻哈風很擅長埋怨與洞察的生活其負面真相。就聽聽吧。
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
Chorus:
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?
(chorus)
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
(Spoken:)
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?
Uh, fuck it
(repeat 3 times)
(Spoken:)
I'm drinkin' a soy latte
I get a double shoté
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 isotope
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? [American life]
Am I gonna be a star? [I'm the American dream]
Do I have to change my name? [American life]
Am I gonna be a star? [I'm the American dream]
Do I have to change my name?
[American life]
[I'm the American dream]
(repeat and fade)
我真的需要改個名字嗎?
這會令我更加完美嗎?
或者我得减减肥?
這樣我就能變成一個明星嗎?
我嘗試當個男孩
我試著做一個女孩
我試著去引起騷動
我盡我所能
但我發現我錯了
這就是我寫下這首歌的原因
這樣的現代生活
它適合我嗎?
這樣的現代生活
真的是自由的嗎?
因此,我在酒吧中尋找同情
在人群中,我試著尋找一個朋友
日復一日,年復一年
這樣的現代生活
它適合我嗎?
這樣的現代生活
真的是自由的嗎?
美國人生
我生活在這美國夢中
你是我所見過最完美的瑰寶
你並不僅僅是一場夢
我嘗試去保持我的巔峰狀態
我嘗試去扮演那樣的角色
但我忽略了
權力和慾望,總是無底的深淵
這樣的現代生活
它適合我嗎?
這樣的現代生活
真的是自由的嗎?
我真的需要改個名字嗎?
這會令我更加完美嗎?
或者我得减减肥?
這樣我就能變成一個明星嗎?
美國人生
我生活在這美國夢中
你是我所見過最完美的瑰寶
你並不僅僅是一場夢
我嘗試當個男孩
我試著做一個女孩
我試著去引起騷動
我盡我所能
嘗試著尋找一個朋友
我嘗試着保持我的巔峰狀態
***** IT。。。
我真的需要改個名字嗎?
這會令我更加完美嗎?
或者我得减减肥?
這樣我就能變成一個明星嗎?
(RAP)
喝着黑拿鐵
卻忽然中了兩槍
感覺它正穿過我的身體
而且你知道我很滿意
開著我的Mini Cooper
感覺超棒
耶 他們說我像個騎警
而且你知道我很滿意
練練瑜珈和皮拉提斯
房間裡都是辣妹
我看看她們的體態
你知道我非常滿意
我探究這些同位素
那些狗屎哲理全是在洗腦
但假如它們能帶給我希望
我就會心滿意足
我有一個律師一個經紀人一個發言人和主廚
三個褓母一個助理一個司機和快遞
一個訓練師一個管家和一到五個保鑣
一個園丁和一個設計師
你以為我是心滿意足的嗎?
我希望表達我獨特的觀點
我不是個基督教徒 也不是個猶太人
只是我的美國夢已醒
到最後什麼都不剩
只是一場空
我真的需要改個名字嗎?
這會令我更加完美嗎?
或者我得减减肥?
這樣我就能變成一個明星嗎?
