Powerless (say What You Want) lyrics

Artist  : Nelly Furtado 
Song : Powerless (say What You Want)
 
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

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

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
