[Verse 1]
Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
[Verse 2]
Burn every notion that I
May have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might
[Verse 3]
'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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
'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
Want
Say what you want
Hey, you, the one on up outside, are you gonna get engaged?
[Verse 6]
Hey, you, the one that don't fit in, are you gonna get engaged?
Hey, you, the one on up outside, are you gonna get in with them?
Broken, the broken, jah, broken, my jah
[Verse 7]
'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?
Is too short, just for you
Feel so powerless, gonna do
Life is too short, just for you
