Powerless (Say What You Want) by Nelly Furtado

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with (1)________ 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 (2)______________ and her gaze
And made a poster
Now it’s (3)__________________ 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 (4)________ you want

Say what you want
Say, say...

Hey you, the one, the one outside
Are you 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 (5)__________ get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, (6)____________ 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 (7)__________ do?
'Cuz this life
Is too short
To live it just
For you
But when you feel
So powerless
What are you gonna do?
Say (8)________ you want
Say what you want
Say (9)________ you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say, say, say, say...
Life is too short
Just for you
Feel powerless
Gonna do
