Lyrics

[00:17.65] Paint my face in your magazines
[00:18.90] Make it look whiter than it seems
[00:21.78] Paint me over with your dreams
[00:23.65] Shove away my ethnicity
[00:26.21] Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
[00:30.31] And say just what is on my mind
[00:32.89] Without offending your might
[00:34.70] Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
[00:43.31] But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
[00:51.98] So say what you want
[00:57.28] Say what you want
[01:01.65] I saw her face outside today
[01:04.03] Weatherworn, looking all the rage
[01:05.96] They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
[01:09.77] Now it's moccasins we sport
[01:12.39] We take the culture and contort
[01:14.63] Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
[01:18.44] Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
[01:27.68] But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
[01:36.22] But say what you want
[01:41.59] Say what you want
[01:43.78] Say say...
[01:47.71] Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
[02:00.87] Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
[02:04.43] Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
[02:08.92] Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
[02:12.54] Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
[02:20.78] But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
[02:29.95] Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
[02:38.19] But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
[02:47.11]
[02:48.44] Cuz this life is too short to live it
[02:52.94] just for you
[02:56.58] But when you feel so powerless,
[03:00.38] what are you gonna do
[03:05.60] say what you want\say what you want\say what you want\say what you want
[03:14.47]
[03:18.04] Life is too short
[03:28.34] Just for you
[03:32.95] Feel powerless
[03:37.26] Gonna do
