Until some time ago, I wasn't interested in dinosaurs much
Same way as overall I wasn't interested in anything much
It's like when I saw you, the pulsation on my carotid artery was completely gone
Like when I was looking at the white noise of a sports channel
Like when I could not tell a difference between a pachycelaphosaurus and the simplest triceratops
Like when the first time I heard the breathing of Cheyne-Stokes
Like when I imagined these wonderful ankles and collarbone
Like when Sherlock Holmes finally showed his jiu-jitsu skills in volume 3
Like when the first time the feeling of green came to me
Like when I could only sleep on my side because of the spikes on my back
Like when I realized there's nothing more simple than the largest prime number
Then you explained to me that life is even simpler and tougher

Life is tougher than anything anybody on 35mm have shot
Life is tougher than you expected when you were small
I don't have enough power to soften it
Life is tougher, yeah, right, life is tougher

I went to a supermarket with my friends for the full inner cleanse
And there, during the meaningless wandering, a sense of green came upon me
I seemed to myself like a huge tyrannosaurus
I looked around and went smashing the department store
I felt a rare rush of strength in my stomach
A paw with four claws was destroying the stands
I've bitten off the four-year-old's head in a blink
It's a pity I couldn't eat the father - he ran away as fast as he could
Ten minutes later, I woke up with my head on the floor
No one was around, I took a jar of green peas and left
On the house wall across the street, neatly written in white on blue, I read
"Whatever you do, you're doomed."
Life is tougher than anyone ever wrote in the books
Life is tougher than you expected when you were little
I don't have enough power to soften it
Life is tougher, yeah, right, life is tougher

Was running, rumbling, stomping with giant green legs
Like when we finally got to the point where my vocabulary ran out
Like when both these lips and green eyes looked at me for an hour
Like when I first realized how important Planck's constant was
Like when you had a very beautiful little scratch on your knee for a long time
Like when it became clear that there was nothing simpler than the largest prime number
Like when I realized that a small bullet had blown off a green spike on my back
Like when I was lying, very pale and skinny, surrounded by strangers
And somebody quietly said into my ear: "Yeah, dude, life is tougher!"

Life's tougher than anything a TV channel has courage to show
Life is tougher than you expected when you were small
Even a dinosaur doesn't have the power to soften it
Life is tougher, yeah, right, life is tougher

Life is tougher than anything anybody on 35mm have shot
Life is tougher than you expected when you were small
Even a dinosaur doesn't have the power to soften it
Life is tougher, yeah, right, life is tougher

Life is tougher than anyone ever wrote in the books
Life is tougher than you expected when you were small
Even a dinosaur doesn't have the power to soften it
Life is tougher, yeah, right, life is tougher
