“American Reality” was written by B+M “as a citizen seeing their government neglect its people and prioritize profit”. The band included a link for viewers of their music video to support the Black Lives Matter cause.
See sometimes I forget
All the things I have
And I just sit here mad
And wonder why
I'm always complaining
And all my friends
They don't care about me
They don't care about me
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
And all my friends
They don't care about me
They don't care about me
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
And I know that I'm lucky
To have what I got
But I'm also unlucky
Cause of what I'm not
If I just finish this song
Maybe I will be OK
Cause it feels like
All my friends
They don't care about me
They don't care about me
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
Another cigarette now
I think I'll sit in my dreams
I think I'll stew in myself
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
I give a lot
To get a little
I lose a lot
To love a little
What's going on
Is I keep crying
Cause all my
All my friends
They don't care about me
They don't care about me
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
Another cigarette now
I think I'll sit in my dreams
I think I'll stew in myself
These days
The whole wide world
It don't care about me
It don't care about me
These days
