勁歌欣賞~Powerless

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

Say... Say.... eh eh eh eh

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

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 what you want
say eh eh eh eh

*IN BACKGROUND*
Life is too short just for you
Feel powerless gonna do
Life is too short just for you
Think powerless gonna do



非常喜歡這首歌 有一種印度的風格 輕快而原始
傳達快樂的氛圍 拉近聽歌人跟唱歌人的距離
如果真的可以"say what I want"

then...give me Nelly, others "NO"

ha~~
