What if I told you it was done with mirrors?

[Syrinx]

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 dreaming
What do you want to bet all you got to do
Is open up your eyes and you'll 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, go back to bed now, don't you cry*

What if you could have been there that day in Dallas
What if you could wrestle back the hands of time
Maybe something could have been done in Memphis
We wouldn't be living in a dream that's died

(Steve Earle is the man.)

2. Well I'm pretty ignorant

Is he the same chap who sang 'Copperhead Road'?

[Kenneth ken]

3. yep

and also the same chap who had the effrontery to write John Walker's Blues - and was villified for it by cons before they even heard it.

The song humanizes John Lindh Walker the "American Taliban."

[Syrinx]

4. yep

lyrics from "Conspiracy Theory" from his album Jerusalem. He rocks. And countries. :)
