I Can See Right Through You by  Kevin Lajiness Now you think I don’t know what you’re up to but I do  I can see right through you your trying to muddy your bloody water  With your minutia I’m not buying it all you want is the land  So you can get more ear marks to develop it  Your kinds been doing it for centuries why don’t you just leave  The land alone you muddy your bloody waters with your lies  I know what you do and I’m going to stop you in your tracks  Now you think I don’t know what you’re up to but I do  I can see right through you your trying to muddy your bloody water  With your minutia I’m not buying it all you want is the land  So you can get more ear marks to develop it  Your kinds been doing it for centuries why don’t you just leave  The land alone you muddy your bloody waters with your lies  I know what you do and I’m going to stop you in your tracks  You muddy your bloody waters with your lies...
