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
