Powerless lyrics

Artist  : Nelly Furtado 
Song : Powerless



 Send "Powerless" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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

Cuz
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
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

Cuz 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
Hey you, the 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
Cuz 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,
say what you want
