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

Is there 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

Weatherworn, 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

But say what you want, say what you want, say, say, yeah

Hey you, the one the one outside, are you 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, say what you want

Say what you want, say what you want

Say what you want, say what you want

Say, say, say, say, yeah

Life is too short, just for you

Feel powerless, gonna do
