Lyrics:
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?
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
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
I live the American dream
You are the best thing I've seen,
You are not just a dream
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?
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

Good work!
Amazing
I have a question, why didn't add flags with their respective emblem (especially emblem from latinoamericans countries )?! 🤔
my mom was a massive madonna fan. this was her favorite songs from her. she passed away very suddenly a few months ago and this just randomly popped into my recommend feed today. now it's kinda growing on me
This album is still relevant today. Ahead. Of. It’s. Time
Social identity, media, propaganda, isolation, family, politics, satire, what matters least/most ... incredible album
No one got it, it was so sad. Incredible piece of work.
@@MARK-ni9oc Sadly it's one of Madonna’s most underrated, controversial, and misunderstood albums.
The album tackled many important topics from war to the American dream to materialism - topics that are relevant now more than ever.
@@ginasousabranco5637 hi gina, i have seen you in a lot of madonna's video, i think you are a huge madonna's fan, i like madonna too. can i ask how old are you and where are you from? i'm just corious because i love madonna too :)
@@immanuelak2643 Hi! I'm a die-hard Madonna's fan from Portugal.
To quote a M's fans favorite song lyrics "...I'm not a little girl"
Is it true that the song and the album were boycotted by american radios?
Two decades ago, Madonna had already been a star for twenty years. This underrated classic is still listened to by many even to this day!
🔥
This song is ass
Η ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑ
I mean is it tho? The song (and it’s “rap”) were so bad that the studio did not release another single from it other then the James Bond soundtrack song. The studio actively ignores this song existed. It kinda killed her career (because it was a VERY bad song, a BAD rap verse AND because Republicans at the time HATED IT at the time but I did not care what they thought then or now). The kind of toxic patriotism that Madonna pointed out in the song, and that led to Trump was rampant at the time.
The 2000s were a weird time. They made the 1980s look chill.
Don’t get me wrong. I actually love this song but it’s kind of in a cringe way. The same way I like the 80s song, Mickey, or the band Enigma or or Wilson Philips.
@@sherylmcallister🙄
One day when she is gone people will realize what artist this world had. She was always against war and pain, it is so relatable for this time.. I hope one day she uploads the Original video for this song, masterpiece #nowar

Agree
When MTV was all about music, they played this video and the song was stuck in my head. Amazing song! Lov e from India!
+elva136 Very true. back in 2003 I used to live for music. Nowadays it's all about commerce.... what a tune...best of 2003.

What I do appreciate about this version of the video is that we get more footage of Madonna in that outfit. She looks ffffing fantastic. But the director’s cut is extraordinary and I’m so happy we’re getting it remastered in HD next week.
2:05 PHILIPPINES LOVES MADONNA 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💙
I don't know why the popularity of Madonna was affected because of this song. It's lyrics are so deep with a good message.
Thats possibly the reason! The music industry is utterly corrupt.

I think people didn't understand the power of "American life". It was one of her best eras
Soy latte
Did we just hear the same song?
I am inclined to think bad blood left auto play on and wrote this for a different song actually
I'm inclined to think you're wrong. I really like American life
@@thomasmacdonough288 her rap was not supposed to be "serious" like that, it was posing a joke against materialism/American culture, especially against the rich side of society. She is speaking from her experience, and how none of these things matter. The rap doesn't have to be Shakespeare. The rap is a joke of sorts. It has lots of irony to it.
Back when Madonna had to rap Nicki's verse since Nicki didn't exist yet ahah
Alessandro Spiridigliozzi lmao
are you disabled?
I laughed out loud at this
Great! Hahaha
ok? lol.
This is one of her best albums. Period
The most surprising thing about the entire American Life album is that if the production had been different, only acoustics involved, it easily would become her best album. I mean, just listen to the non-electronic part i.e. the chorus. That's so good! Her voice also sounds better when it's unadorned by unnecessary glitchy production.
I agree. Madonna sounded better just with a guitar and her natural voice than very generic sound of Mirwais. Especially Mother & Father and Nobody Knows Me is horrendous for today. Wasn't good then either.
@@rtncg *"💖?Do you actually expect HER to play ( `it´ ) safe..~😈"*
@@cosmefulanitoo2625 I didn't mean country music. It could be at least better than Nokia 3310 sounds in some songs. Also a lot of girls doing bad electronic music with autotune.
@@cosmefulanitoo2625 What am I trying? I say some songs on American Life sounds like polyphonic melodies of Nokia 3310, a primitive cellphone of early 2000s.
Expecting madonna to behave like a Basic b, not a real fan 😢😅
American Life album was way ahead of its time, FAR BEYOND it’s time, fresh, authentic, amazing production, lyrics, unique distinctive sound, purety of Madonna voice and a wildly underrated, truly misunderstood masterpiece.
I need political Madonna back! It would be Paradise (For Me)

Such amazing lyrics:
"I'm drinking a soy latte,
I get a double shot" (pronounced "shatte" to rhyme with latte)
"I drive a mini Cooper and I'm feeling super duper".
So powerful, I'm getting chills just thinking about them.
🤣
have you seen the end of the uncesored version?
"Shatte"...😆🤣🤣🤣
Tbh the lyrics in the "rap" are pretty lame, and exposed Madonna as what she was... A bored privileged white woman who feels her most important message to deliver at that point in her life was to "complain" borderline "denounce" the shallow and superficial priorities in her life (a.k.a. Shatte) but conveniently failing to mention / leaving out the part where she "renounces" these commodities, she figures, materialism and superficial things don't bring happiness to one's soul, so if I bitch about these privileges my life is bombarded/pampered with... Then maybe people will realize and dispose to find happiness somewhere else other than all these things I have (but don't publicly enjoy) then that's enough contribution to make towards society... Which in turn, will create a justification for personally having these things I have, strong enough that I don't need to give any of it up, as long as I'm teaching all girls to not be sluts in real life, then it cancels out everytime I have to do some slut dance moves in my slutwave song music video. Looking and acting like a whore and feeling like a whore inside, doesn't actually make you a whore. Whore is bad. I'm too good too rich for being whore. Whore is Whack. Here's my new art porNOgrafic music video: "Sex".
In the end these lyrics about "soy latte . Double shitter. Super Duper" are just lame... And sort of delusional. But more than anything... They're just Lame as Fuck. No offense to Lame or to Fucks.
@@isidroguevara4741 more like Shitty
Very strong message. Only Madonna can do it.
Explain what the message is to you.
To me, the message is, "Madonna is rich and has many servants, yet somehow is not satisfied."
It's pretty much American Life, to have multiple nannies and a chauffeur and a chef and worry about losing weight, etc.
@@whitelikejesus You’re dense
@@whitelikejesus the message is "a big celebrity having the courage to speak out against the unjustified war that her country is doing"

MADONNA.
Probably one of the profoundest song of the generation❤
There are some great songs on this album. When all is said and done Madonna will have left behind some fabulous music. That’s a good thing!
This is my favourite Madonna song. Mainly because she goes against everything you'd expect of a pop star, challenging norms etc which for me elevates the art.
How could this song b ur favorite from her?!?! R U Kidding me?! The message is strong, true, but the song is so weak that it can barely make it to Madonna's Best Songs List!
Yes the norm of soy latte. I will challenge a soy latte any day

Who cares
Lady Gaga cares
Guy Incognito Lady gaga is a copy from madonna. Lady gaga can't recognize that she copy born this way from express yourself. Both songs sound exactly the same :(
Who cares? Lady Gaga is NOBODY in the music industry right now. She had great potential, but whe ruined everything when she decided to focus exclusively in suicidal bullied teenagers. And she lost her adult audience (the ones that buy music LOL), and then: ARTFLOP.
Lady Gaga is irrelevant right now.
This is among her most underrated work. American Life and Madonna have some of her greatest music, greatest videos and greatest messages!
"Erotica" and "Rebel Heart" too
mix another drink...

So misunderstood, so underrated. Received as and anti-American song, actually truly is a very American song.
+Federico De Simone Agreed. In Madge's words: "fuck it."
why this was received as anti american? what she was standing for?
She questions the shallowness of modern life and the American Dream during the presidency of George W. Bush. Towards the end of the song, Madonna raps, naming the people who were working for her

Geography with Madonna
They gave Madonna a ton of crap for the original video which they said was too graphic so she had to tone it down. Madonna didn't create those images, world governments did and they have the nerve to tell her to tone it down? Why don't they tone it down?
Damn love your comment.
I was wondering about this. Seemed like they just lost the video. The one I originally saw was different. Throwed me off. Thank you
Yes! That's it! Bravo 👏👏

May 2020!
Happy 20th year to this song! 🎉
Just really listening and paying attention to this album in 2023 and it’s amazing the production vocals and message 🔥
American Life album was described by music critics as "unpatriotic", "slack" & "serious".
From the 5 singles released, American Life was #37 U.S, #2 U.K.
See the difference?
A lot of people say it's hypocritical and what not. But they don't understand the real meaning of it. This song is amazing and underrated.
Actually, those people are nothing but completely dumb and bigoted people...this song is an expression of Madonna's love for her home country and her own "american dream" path in life...and she always has nurtured that...many of her songs with gospel choirs and elements that portray accurately all the strength and diversity America has/is, speak for itself...she may have added some political/social critic to the mix, like she always has too, and as we all know things aren't perfect anywhere, including in the USA...so it's utterly unfair to say she was "unpatriotic", "slack" & "serious" with this song...I hate that american neoconservatism Tea Party alike bullshit, because it's that that keeps preventing America to move forward in the right direction...
Because american hated it and called as you said,in europe was received better and was criticized only because was ahead of his time and don't understanded,but not because was"Unpatriotic".Singles,through less successfull than previous Madonna's singles,went very better than in the US.
because people don't like the truth.
Didn't this come out just a year or two after 9/11? People were real sensitive back then.
Back when this album came out and everyone kinda say her career was over, a misconception, cause shes still relevant. Maybe the album was ahead of time but still its one of my favourite
I mean, it DID effectively end her career. It brought her string of hits, to a screeching halt. Sure, she had Hung Up and 4 Minutes, but she never had a string of mega hits again, the same way she did, in the 80s and 90s. She's relevant now, for all the wrong reasons.
I have to disagree shehas been successful after that, hung up, living for. Love, sorry, etc
I think it flopped because was too political, perceived by Americans as pretentious and opportunistic of her to address such issues, the rest of the word was dealing with other problems at the time to get invested in her "cause" if you wish... But, overall its production and non single tracks are great...
QR One probably you’re American, cause Hung Up is literally the biggest smash hit of the 00s, no.1 in 41 countries, most danced song of the whole decade. So huge it made it into the Guinness World Records book. But it just hit the #7 spot in the billboard hot 100. Everywhere you go in the world you can feel Hung Up and many other songs (including Celebration) were huge and they’re still club hits.
The sound of the album was ahead of it's time but the problem was she got political outspoken about the biggest American Export product - weapons and army! In France this album sold almost 1 million copies. In UK this song peaked #02 on the charts (selling just 500 copies shy from #01) and the second single from the album "Hollywood" was also a #02 Hit in UK. On Mediatraffic worldcharts "American Life" was #01 for 4 weeks as the best selling single worldwide. At European HOT 100 the song peaked #02 peaking TOP 10 in almost all Europe including at #01 in Portugal, Italy, Denmark and Switzerland. The single was also #01 in Canada (where Madonna is the artist with more #01 songs ever among all artists - 25 of her songs got to #01 there! - her latest #01 song in Canada was "Give Me All Your Luvin' " in 2012).
She is the only Queen of pop! I love her
Yeahhhhh
A very powerful message for a person named Bob and his lovely wife/girlfriend who believe that they are entitled to be the only ones who deserve to live out the American dream in their American Life

Gina Sousa Branco I knew this album was good! How come everyone on here says it’s under rated?
It should've won something.
It also wiped her from relevance for good
Those are some embarrassing stats for Madonna.

We need the original version!

Madonna rap verse is soooo freakn cool!! This song is so nice for 2.0 version
This song reminds me when music was about real artists!!!!!!!
true
Hahahaha
Hate to break this to you but by the time she released this, music was already out the door. She hasn't released anything good since Ray of Light. I am only listening to this for the first time now. I purposely avoided it when it was released b/c what the country was going through it seemed ridiculous to invest time for. Suffice it to say, I'm not impressed by it and won't bother listening to any other track from the album.
SheHas Such A BeautifullYUMMYVoice , SheSuchYUMMYYUMMY CutieVoice She So CutieYUMMY ROAR Adorab!e I LOVE HER ! ! ! !
