Furtado Nelly - Powerless Lyrics




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

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
