Powerless

	  		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            A                G        D 
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you  
              D        A                      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  
 
Cause 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  
 
Cause this life is too short to live it just for you  
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
