American Life is the 4th track off of Primus' second studio album Sailing the Seas of Cheese. The song features a very memorable bassline by lead vocalist/bassist Les Claypool that is characteristically "Primus" sounding. The song is about everyday society in the United States of America.

"American Life" was played on Primus' 3rd DVD entitled Blame It on the Fish. It was also featured on the video game "Tony Hawk's Project 8"
