Powerless 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
Cuz 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 weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it's moccasins we sport, we take the c**ture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
Cuz 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

Hey you 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
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do

Cuz 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
