Powerless (Say What You Want) Alternative Acoustic Mix 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
Say just what is on my mind
Without offending your mind

′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
Come on
Say
Say

I saw your face outside today
We're the one looking off the ridge
You took a passionate 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

Oh, this life is too short
To live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless
What are you gonna do?
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Say what you want
Say
Say, say, say, say, say

Hey you, the one outside

How are you gonna get in, get in?
Hey you, the one outside
How are you gonna get in, get in?
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, yeah
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, yeah
Hey you, the one that don′t fit in, yeah, yeah
Yeah, this life is too short
To live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless
What are you gonna do?

Do

Hey you, the one outside
Hey you, the one outside
Hey you, the one outside
Hey you, the one outside
