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
Say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might
'Cause 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
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say what you want
Say, say, say, say

I saw her face outside today
Weather-worn, 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
