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

D Dsus2 Dsus4
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
