I was listening to Madonna's "American Life" earlier today. She should totally cover the title track for her next album, it describes her perfectly right now, and it would most likely **** on the original.
I tried to be a mess, I tried to be the best
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
I'm drinking a soy Starbucks latte
I got a double shote (shot)
It goes right through my body
And 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'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing
Is what it seems
It would **** on discographies and just imagine the controversy.
