Conspiracy Theory Lyrics

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 you
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 eyesSteve Earle - Conspiracy Theory - http://motolyrics.com/steve-earle/conspiracy-theory-lyrics.html
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

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
