Powerless (Say What You Want) [Alternative Acoustic Mix]

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] ’Cause this life is too short To live it just for you But when you feel so powerless What are you gonna do? [Post-Chorus] So say what you want Say what you want [Verse 2] I saw her face outside today Weatherworn, lookin' 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 hidin' [Chorus] 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? Say what you want (Say, say, say, yeah) [Bridge] Hey you, the one, the one outside, how are you gonna get in, get in? Hey you, the one 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 [Outro] 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
