I wrote 'Not Around Me' when I lived in Bangkok back in 2016.
Listen to it before the next _______.

“Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.” ― Bertrand Russell

Lyrics:
Kids carry guns but it's not around me
It's not about me
It's not because of me
Dads bury sons but it's not around me
So why should I mind?

The government is lying but it's not around me
It's not about me
It's not because of me
And people keep denying but it's not around me
So why should I mind?

Ohh

What if they told you that the world is gonna end now?
Would you believe them if they said we're gonna die?
What if they told you the humanity is bad now
And we should be scared

That's why we are
Going down, going so deep
Ah, we're going down
Going so deep
Ah, going down, going so deep

Planes are painting pictures
Painting pictures in the sky
It's not about me
It's not because of me
And no one's ever asking how it's raining in July
So why should I mind?

If money buys the doctors
And they're messing with you mind
It's not about me
It's not because of me
And leaders preach for hate
But everybody's fucking blind
So why should I mind?

What if they told you that the world is gonna end now?
Would you believe them if they said we're gonna die?
What if they told you the humanity is bad now
And we should be scared

That's why we are
Going down, going so deep now
Ah, we're going down
Going so deep
Ah, going down, going so deep now
Going down, going so deep

What if I told you that nobody's gonna save us?
That all we gotta do is wake up and unite
What if I told you that we could've been in heaven now
We shouldn't be scared
And that's why...
