Nelly Furtado Powerless lyrics

Nelly Furtado
Miscellaneous
Powerless
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
I saw her face outside today
Weather worn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze
And made a poster
Now it's moccassins 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?

So say what you want
Hey you, the one outside, how you ever gonna get in, get in

song lyrics submited by surfin
Hey you , the one that don't fit in, are you ever gonna get in Hey you,
the one outside are you ever gonna get in, with the 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? x3

So say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
