Intro: D5

        D5         
Paint my face in your magazines 
              E5
Make it look whiter than it seems 
           D5
Paint me over with your dreams 
           E5
Shove away my ethnicity 
              D5                       E5
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight 
         D5
And say just what is on my mind 
           E5
Without offending your might 
          D5            E5               G5        D5
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you 
              D5        E5                     G5    D5
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do 
        D5
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
