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

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 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,sayyy



Hey you, the one of 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, say what you want,(life is to short)

say what you want, say what you want,(just for you)

say what you want, say what you want(feel so powerless),

say say say sayyyy(gonna do)
