Powerless (Say What You Want)

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Hand me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I
May have a famous alibi
I'll 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 a face just the other day
Where they were looking all the rage
Took a passionate gaze and made a puzzle
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

Say, say

Hey, you're the one, the one outside
Are you gonna get in, get in?
Hey, you're the one that doesn't fit in
How the hell you gonna get in?
Hey, you're the one outside
Are you ever gonna get in, get in?

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
(Say what you want)
Say what you want
(Say what you want)
Say what you want
(Say what you want)
Say what you want
(Say what you want)

Say, say, say, say
Life is too short
Just for you
But when you feel so powerless
Gonna do
