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 '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? But say what you want, say what you want, say, say, hey Hey you, the are 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? '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 (life is too short), say what you want Say what you want (just for you) Say what you want, say what you want (feel powerless) Say what you want, say, say, say (gonna do) Life is too short, just for you Feel powerless, gonna do
