Don't Fool Me

All the treachery's. The evils of the centuries. So much in my memory. Takes up all the breath in me but this won't be the death of me. No, you cannot have what's left of me

You don't fool me

I see the strings

I see it all clearly

The trouble it brings

I may not know

But I know your trickery

Your acting all slippery

You think that your slick to me

To we. And to many

I'm sure there is plenty

But you see

You don't fool me

I see the strings

I see it all clearly

The trouble it brings

You hear me

I don't fear ye'

I won't scare easily

Believe in me

I will not heed carefully

I see, and will not be seized

I will relieve. Set free

What was so hard to conceive

The treacheries. The evils 

of the centuries. so much 

in my memory takes up 

all the breath in me But this won't be 

the death of me No, you cannot have 

what's left of me

Cause you see

You don't fool me

I see the strings

I see it all clearly

The trouble it brings

I won't fear ye'

And you won't fool me
