Okay, so I heard it a long time ago. But I kinda redisocovered it yesterday.
It's "Conspiracy Theory" by 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 dreaming?
What you wanna bet that all you gotta do
Is open up your eyes and you will wake up screaming
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 coming 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 living 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 thinking 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
