Lyrics Conspiracy Theory - Steve Earle
What
if
I
told
you
it
was
done
with
mirrors
What
if
I
showed
you
it
was
all
a
lie
Better
be
careful,
someone
might
hear
ya
The
walls
have
ears
and
the
sky
has
eyes
What
if
I
said
you
were
only
dreamin'
What
you
wanna
bet
that
all
you
gotta
do
Is
open
up
your
eyes
and
you
will
wake
up
screamin'
When
you
realize
that
it's
all
come
true
Hush,
now
don't
you
believe
it
Cover
your
head
and
close
your
eyes
Now,
take
it
or
leave
it
Go
back
to
bed
Now
don't
you
cry
Half
a
million
soldiers
fly
across
the
water
One
in
ten
are
never
comin'
back
again
Fifty
thousand
sons
who
never
grew
to
fathers
Don't
you
ever
wonder
who
they
might
have
been
What
if
you
could've
been
there
on
that
day
in
Dallas
What
if
you
could
wrestle
back
the
hands
of
time
Maybe
somethin'
could've
been
done
in
Memphis
We
wouldn't
be
livin'
in
a
dream
that's
died
Hush,
now
don't
you
believe
it
Cover
your
head
and
close
your
eyes
Now,
take
it
or
leave
it
Go
back
to
bed
Now
don't
you
cry
Go
on
and
tell
yourself
again
there
are
no
secrets
Go
on
and
tell
yourself
that
you
don't
want
to
know
It's
best
that
you
believe
that
you
don't
hear
the
footsteps
That
follow
you
around
no
matter
where
you
go
Maybe
you
were
thinkin'
that
it
didn't
matter
Maybe
you
believed
nobody
else
would
care
But
once
you've
added
every
little
lie
together
You
finally
find
the
truth
was
always
waiting
there
Hush,
now
don't
you
believe
it
Cover
your
head
and
close
your
eyes
Now,
take
it
or
leave
it
Go
back
to
bed
Now
don't
you
cry
Hush,
now
don't
you
believe
it
Cover
your
head
and
close
your
eyes
Now,
take
it
or
leave
it
Go
back
to
bed
Now
don't
you
cry
(fades)
Hush,
now
don't
you
believe
it
Cover
your
head
and
close
your
eyes
Now,
take
it
or
leave
it
Go
back
to
bed
Now
don't
you
cry
