נראה לי שזה יסכם פחות או יותר את הרעיון של היצירה -
חלק מהשיר American Life של מדונה:
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 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
I'm drinking a Soy latte, I get a double shote
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 palates 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 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
