Powerless (say What You Want) Lyrics

Powerless (say What You Want) lyrics

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



Cuz 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

Weatherworn, 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



Cuz 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



Hey you, 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



Cuz
this life is too short to live it just for you

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