Intro: D

        D         
Paint my face in your magazines 
              Em7
Make it look whiter than it seems 
           D
Paint me over with your dreams 
           Em7
Shove away my ethnicity 
              D                       Em7
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight 
         D
And say just what is on my mind 
           Em7
Without offending your might 
          D            E               G        D
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you 
              D        E                     G    D
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do 
        D
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
