VERSE #1
--------
E
Paint my face in your magazines
Asus2
Make it look whiter than it seems
E
Paint me over with your dreams
Asus2
Shove away my ethnicity
E
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
Asus2
And say just what is on my mind
E
Without offending your might
Chorus
------
Dsus2
Cuz this life is too
Em
short to live it just for you
G
But when you feel so powerless
Dsus2
what are you gonna do. So say what you want
VERSE #2
--------
E
I saw her face outside today
Asus2
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
E
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster

Asus2
Now it's moccasins we sport
E
We take the culture and contort
Asus2
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding
Chorus
------
Dsus2
Cuz this life is too
Em
short to live it just for you
G
But when you feel so powerless
Dsus2
what are you gonna do. So 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
Chorus X2

Dsus2
Cuz this life is too
Em
short to live it just for you
G
But when you feel so powerless
Dsus2
what are you gonna do. So say what you want
