American Life
MUSIC
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? 
I went into a bar looking for sympathy
A little company - I tried to find a friend
Its 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...Yeah, 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 realised 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
Fuck it

Hollywood
Impressive Istant
Everybody comes to Hollywood 
They want to make it in the neighborhood 
They like the smell of it in Hollywood 
How could it hurt when it looks so good? 
Shine your light now 
This time it's gotta be good 
You get it right now 
Cause you're in Hollywood 
There's something in the air in Hollywood 
The sun is shining like you knew it would 
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood 
You got the top down and it feels so good 
I lost my memory in Hollywood 
I've had a million vision bad and good
There's something in the air in Hollywood 
I tried to leave it but I never could 
Shine your light now 
This time it's gotta be good 
You get it right now
Cause you're in Hollywood 
There's something in the air in Hollywood 
I've lost my reputation bad and good 
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood 
You got the top down and it feels so good 
Music stations always play the same songs 
I'm bored with the concept of right and wrong 
Everybody comes to Hollywood 
They want to make it in the neighborhood 
They like the smell of it in Hollywood 
How could it hurt when it looks so good? 
Shine your light now 
This time it's gotta be good 
You get it right now 
Cause you're in Hollywood 
Cause you're in Hollywood, 
Cause you're in Hollywood 
In Hollywood (x3) 
Check it out, this bird has flown 
Shine your light now 
This time it's gotta be good
You get it right now 
Cause you're in Hollywood 
Cause you're in Hollywood, Cause you're in Hollywood 
In Hollywood (x3) 
Push the button, Don't push the button 
Trip the station, Change the channel 
Push the button, Don't push the button 
Trip the station, Change the channel 
Push the button, Don't push the button 
Trip the station, Change the channel

I'm so stupid
Runaway love
Cause I use to live 
In a fuzzy dream 
And I wanted to be 
Like all the pretty people 
I'm so stupid 
Cause I use to live 
In a fuzzy dream 
And I use to believe 
In a pretty pictures 
That were all around me 
But now I know for sure 
That I was stupid 
Please don't try to tempt me 
It was just greed 
And it won't protect me 
Don't want my dreams 
Adding up to nothing 
I was just looking for 
Everybody's looking for something 
I'm so stupid 
Cause I use to live 
In a tiny bubble 
And I wanted to be 
Like all the pretty people 
That were all around me 
But now I know for sure 
That I was stupid 
Stupider than stupid 
Stupider than stupid 
Stupider than stupid 
Please don't try to tempt me 
It was just greed 
And it won't protect me 
Don't want my dreams 
Adding up to nothing 
I was just looking for 
Everybody's looking for something 
Everybody's looking for something 
Everybody's stupid stupid 
Everybody's looking for something 
Everybody's stupid stupid 
Everybody's looking for something 
Everybody's stupid stupid 
Everybody's looking for something 
Everybody, everybody 
Please don't try to tempt me 
It was just greed 
And it won't protect me 
Don't want my dreams 
Adding up to nothing 
I was just looking for 
Everybody's looking for something

Love profusion
I deserve it
There are too many questions 
There is not one solution 
There is no resurrection 
There is so much confusion 
And the love perfusion 
You make me feel 
You make me know 
And the love vibration 
You make me feel 
You make it shine 
There are too many options 
There is no consolation 
I have lost my illusions 
What I want is an explanation 
And the love perfusion 
You make me feel 
You make me know 
And the love direction
You make me feel 
You make me shine 
You make me feel 
You make me shine 
You make me feel 
I got you under my skin 
There is no comprehension 
There is real isolation 
There is so much destruction 
What I want is a celebration 
And I know I can feel bad 
When I get in a bad mood 
And the world can look so sad 
Only you make me feel good 
I got you under my skin 
And the love perfusion 
You make me feel 
You make me know 
And the love intention 
You make me feel 
You make me shine 
You make me feel 
You make me shine 
You make me feel 
I got you under my skin 
And I know I can feel bad 
When I get in a bad mood 
And the world can look so sad 
Only you make me feel good

Nobody knows me
Amazing
I've had so many lives 
Since I was a child 
And I realise 
How many times I've died 
I'm not that kind of guy 
Sometimes I feel shy 
I think I can fly 
Closer to the sky 
No ones telling you how to live your life 
But it's a setup until you're fed up 
This world is not so kind 
People trap your mind 
It's so hard to find 
Someone to admire 
I… I sleep much better at night 
I feel closer to the light 
Now I'm gonna try 
To improve my life 
No ones telling you how to live your life 
But it's a setup until you're fed up 
It's no good when you're misunderstood 
But why should I care? 
What the world thinks of me 
Won't let a stranger 
Give me a social disease 
Nobody, nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Like you know me 
Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Like you know me 
No ones telling you how to live my life 
But it's a setup, and I'm just fed up 
It's no good when you're misunderstood 
But why should I care? 
What the world thinks of me 
Won't let a stranger 
Give me a social disease 
I don't want no lies 
I don't watch TV 
I don't waste my time 
Won't read a magazine 
I don't want no lies 
I don't watch TV 
I don't waste my time 
Won't read a magazine 
I… I sleep much better at night 
I feel closer to the light 
Now I'm gonna try 
To improve my life
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Like you know me 
*Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Nobody knows me 
Like, like you know me 
Like you know me 
Like you know me 
Like you know me 
Like you know me 
(Its no fun but the damage is done 
Don't want your social disease 
Don't want your social disease) 
Nobody knows me 
Don't want your social disease 
(I don't want no lies 
I don't watch TV 
I don't waste my time 
Won't read a magazine 
I don't want no lies 
I don't watch TV 
Won't read a magazine)

Nothing fails
Nobody's perfect
I'm in love with you, you silly thing 
Anyone can see 
What is it with you, you silly thing 
Just take it from me 
It was not a chance meeting 
Feel my heart beating 
You're the one 
You could take all this, take it away 
I'd still have it all 
Cause I've climbed the tree of life 
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall 
When I get lost in space 
I can return to this place 
Cause, you're the one 
Nothing fails 
No more fears 
Nothing fails 
You washed away my tears 
Nothing fails 
No more fears 
Nothing fails 
Nothing fails 
I'm not religious 
But I feel so moved 
Makes me want to pray, 
Pray you'll always be here 
I'm not religious 
But I feel such love 
Makes me want to pray 
When I get lost in space 
I can return to this place 
Cause, you're the one 
I'm not religious 
But I feel so moved 
I'm not religious 
Makes me wanna pray 
I'm not religious 
But I feel so moved 
I'm not religious 
Makes me want to pray 
Nothing fails 
No more fears 
Nothing fails 
You washed away my tears 
Nothing fails 
No more fears 
Nothing fails

Intervention
Intervention
I got to save my baby 
Because he makes me cry 
I got to make him happy 
I got to teach him how to fly 
I want to take him higher 
Way up like a bird in the sky 
I got to calm him down now 
I want to save his life 
And I know that love will change us forever 
And I know that love will keep us together 
And I know, I know 
There is nothing to fear 
And I know that love 
Will take us away from here 
Sometimes it's such a pleasure 
Sometimes I wanna tear it all down 
It's easy to be lazy 
And hard to go away from the crowd 
I know the road looks lonely 
But that's just Satan's game 
And either way my baby 
We'll never be the same 
And I know that love will change us forever 
And I know that love will keep us together 
And I know, I know 
There is nothing to fear 
And I know that love 
Will take us away from here 
In the blink of an eye everything could change 
Say hello to your life now your living 
This is it from now on 
It's a brand new day 
It was time to wake up from this dream (from this dream) 
I know the road looks lonely 
But that's just Satan's game 
And either way my baby 
You'll never be the same 
And I know that love will change us forever 
And I know that love will keep us together 
And I know, I know 
There is nothing to fear 
And I know that love 
Will take us away from

X-taic process
Don't tell me
I'm not myself when you're around 
I'm not myself standing in a crowd 
I'm not myself and I don't know how 
I'm not myself, myself right now 
Jesus Christ will you look at me 
Don't know who I'm supposed to be 
Don't really know if I should give a damn 
When you're around, I don't know who I am 
I'm not myself when you go quiet 
I'm not myself all alone at night 
I'm not myself don't know who to call 
I'm not myself at all 
Jesus Christ will you look at me 
Don't know who I'm supposed to be 
Don't really know if I should give a damn 
When you're around, I don't know who I am 
I always wished that I could find 
Someone as beautiful as you 
But in the process I forgot that I was special too 
I'm not myself when you're around 
(I'm not myself when you go quiet) 
I'm not myself all alone at night 
(I'm not myself standing in a crowd) 
I'm not myself and I don't know how 
I'm not myself, myself right now 
(Don't know what I believe) 
Jesus Christ will you look at me 
Don't know who I'm supposed to be 
Don't really know if I should give a damn 
When you're around, I don't know who I am 
I always wished that I could find 
Someone as beautiful as you 
But in the process I forgot that I was special too 
I always wished that I could find 
Someone as talented as you 
But in the process I forgot 
That I was just as good as you

Mother and father
what it feels like for a girl?
There was a time I was happy in my life 
There was time I believed I'd live forever 
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ 
There was a time I had a mother it was nice 
Nobody else would ever take the place of you 
Nobody else could do the things that you could do 
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did 
I didn't understand I was just a kid 
Oh mother why aren't you here with me 
No one else saw the things that you could see 
I'm trying hard to dry my tears 
Yes father you know I'm not so free 
I got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
I got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
There was a time I was happy in my life 
There was time I believed I'd live forever 
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ 
There was a time I had a mother it was nice 
Oh mother why aren't you here with me 
No one else saw the things that you could see 
I'm trying hard to dry my tears 
Yes father you know I'm not so free 
I got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
I got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
My mother died when I was five 
And all I did was sit and cry 
I cried and cried and cried all day 
Until the neighbours went away 
They couldn't take my loneliness 
I couldn't take their phoniness 
My father had to go to work 
I used to think he was a jerk 
I didn't know his heart was broken 
And not another word was spoken 
He became a shadow of 
The father I was dreaming of 
I made a vow that I would never need another person ever 
Turned my heart into a cage a victim of a kind of rage 
I gotta give it up 
I've got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I've got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
I got to give it up 
Find someone to love me 
I got to let it go 
Find someone that I can care for 
Find someone that I can care for 
Find someone that I can care for 
I got to give it up 
I got to let it go 
I got to give it up 
Oh mother 
Oh father 
I gotta give it up

Easy ride
Gone
I want the good life 
But I don't want an easy ride 
What I want is to work for it 
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips 
That's what I want for me 
I want to know everything 
Maybe someday I will 
What I want is to find my place 
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face 
That's what I want 
I go round and round just like a circle 
I can see a clearer picture 
When I touch the ground I come full circle 
To my place and I am home 
I am home 
I want to let go of all disappointment
That's waiting for me 
What I want is to live forever 
Not defined by time and space 
It's a lonely place 
That's what I want 
I go round and round just like a circle 
I can see a clearer picture 
When I touch the ground I come full circle 
To my place and I am home 
I am home 
I go round and round just like a circle 
I can see a clearer picture 
When I touch the ground I come full circle 
To my place and I am home 
I am home 
I go round and round just
Round and round just

Die another day
Paradise (not for me)
I'm gonna wake up, yes and no 
I'm gonna kiss, some part of 
I'm gonna keep this secret 
I'm gonna close my body now 
I guess I'll die another day 
I guess I'll die another day, another day 
I guess I'll die another day 
Siegmund freud 
Analyse this 
Analyse this 
Analyse this, this, this…. 
I'm gonna break the cycle 
I'm gonna shake up the system 
I'm gonna destroy my ego 
I'm gonna close my body now 
I think I'll find another way 
There's so much more to know 
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go 
For every sin, I'll have to pay 
A time to work, a time to play 
I think I'll find another way 
It's not my time to go 
I'm gonna avoid the cliché 
I'm gonna suspend my senses 
I'm gonna delay my pleasure 
I'm gonna close my body now 
I guess I'll die another day 
I think I'll find another way 
There's so much more to know 
I guess I'll die another day 
It's not my time to go 
(Laugh) 
(Spoken) 
I need to lay down 
I guess I'll die another day 
Another day
