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?

But say what you want Say what you want Say, say 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, how you gonna get in? Hey, you, 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?
