Powerless

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?
 So say what you want
 Say what you want
 You want
 Say what you want
 Hey you the one, the one outside
 Are you gonna get in, get in?
 Hey you, the one that don't fit in
 How you gonna get in, get in?
 Hey you, the one, the one outside
 Are you gonna get in with your
 Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo?
 '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 (so powerless)
 What are you gonna do? (What are you, what are you, 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?
 Life is too short
 Just for you
 Feel so powerless
 Gonna do
 Life is too short
 Just for you
