Sam Smith - Hard to Ignore (These Nights) lyrics

I feel good when I'm on my grind Wrapped in my life, letting my light shine Beats, rhymes, and life, putting in that time Trying to keep it going, this little light of mine If I could, I'd stay in my bubble Float away at the first sign of trouble Keep out my space, you know I'm doing me I'll let you do you, individuality Things are getting hard to ignore Life is always creeping up knocking at your door I'm feeling purged out, I try to close my mind Shut the world out, this is my time Don't bring your problems, don't bring me your cross I won't bear your burdens, I'm no Jesus Christ If you got issues, don't extend your hand But these nights, never seem to go as planned You heard them gunshots, you saw them kids cry Tuning in every night, the news is on at five And at six o'clock, back to flipping stations Switching satellites to fictional situations We invent problems, TNT knows drama CBS told me how you met your mama I got a Break Bad, then find something funny Then they tell me how I got to spend my money And in the meantime, far away from me They got earthquakes, hurricanes tsunamis Be a savior that'll cost me five Am I saint, give em ten, save a child's life It's easy, just send a text Make it simple, dumb it down, then what's next Flip the station, stare at my set Set my DVR, I've become the walking dead That's all people register Too much truth then we drowning in this atmosphere Tuning out the truth cause we don't want to hear Action's too hard, and doing nothing's so much easier Hands up, don't shoot, that's the next anthem Until we lose steam and we forget about Ferguson Or what about Trayvon,, what about the mothers What do you tell your black son when you tuck him into covers 2014 what happened to our civil rights People protesting like it's '65 Even as I write this song, I'm questioning my own self The finger I'm pointing is at my own blood cells But I'm a step to it, try to use the system Twist it to my benefit and then offer up my wisdom And in the meantime, I'm a deranged man Cause' these nights never ever seem to go as planned
