Powerless (Say What You Want)

Nelly Furtado

Powerless (Say What You Want) (Original Version)

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 a fire
I say just what is on my mind
Is that offending your mind

Chorus:
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

Chorus

So say what you want
Say what you want
Say, say&

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

Chorus x4

Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want&

Life is too short& just for you
Feel powerless& gonna do
