Powerless (Say What You Want)

Paint my face in your magazines, make it look whiter than it seems

Paint me over with your dreams, shove away my ethnicity

Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight

And say just what is on my mind without offending your might

'Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do?

So say what you want, say what you want

I saw her face outside today

Weather-worn, looking all the rage

They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster

Now it's moccasins we sport

We take the culture and contort

Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

'Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do?

But say what you want, say what you want, say, say, hey

Hey you, the are the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in

Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in

Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your

Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo

Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

'Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

'Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

Say what you want (life is too short), say what you want

Say what you want (just for you)

Say what you want, say what you want (feel powerless)

Say what you want, say, say, say (gonna do)

Life is too short, just for you

Feel powerless, gonna do
