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, lookin’ all the rage
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 hidin'
’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 what you want
Hey, you're the one, the one outside, are you gonna get in, get in?
Hey, you're the one that don't fit in, how ya gonna get in, get in?
Hey, you're the one outside, are you ever 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, 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
