Conspiracy Theory — текст песни (Steve Earle)

(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

chorus
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

chorus

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
