Nelly Furtado - Powerless Lyrics
Paint my face in your magazinesMake it look whiter than it seemsPaint me over with your dreamsShove away my ethnicityBurn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fightAnd say just what is on my mindWithout offending your mightCuz this life is too short to live it just for youBut when you feel so powerless what are you gonna doSo say what you wantI saw her face outside todayWeatherworn, looking all the rageThey took her passion and her gaze and made a posterNow it’s moccasins we sportWe take the culture and contortPerhaps only to distort what we are hidingCuz this life is too short to live it just for youBut when you feel so powerless what are you gonna doBut say what you wantHey you, the one, the one outside, how ya gonna get in,get inHey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get inHey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with yourBroken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojoYeah, this life is too short to live it just for youBut when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna doCuz this life is too short to live it just for youBut when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna doSo say what you want, say what you want, say what you want
