American Life

Madonna

Transposer:

(no chords) Do I have to change my name? Will it get me far? Should I lose some weight? Am I gonna be a star? Intro: 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 say 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 (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? 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 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 tried to stay ahead I tried to stay on top 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? Ah fuck it...           Ah fuck it...        Ah fuck it...               Ah fuck it...                      I’m drinking a Soy latte I get a double 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 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 the bodies And you know I’m satisfied I’m digging on the isotopes This metaphysic’s 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 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?

Cette chanson aborde le thème des attentes et des pressions liées à la vie moderne, en particulier celle de la société américaine. L’artiste se questionne sur son identité et son cheminement, se demandant si elle doit changer des aspects de sa vie pour réussir ou être acceptée. Elle exprime un sentiment de désillusion face à la quête du succès et à la superficialité qui l’accompagne, tout en cherchant de la connexion et du sens. Le contexte de cette réflexion s’ancre dans un monde où les apparences et les normes sociales sont omniprésentes. Au milieu de cette quête, l’artiste fait référence aux efforts qu'elle déploie pour répondre à ces attentes, tout en cherchant un équilibre et une satisfaction personnelle au sein de cette vie trépidante.
