Volevo Essere Un Duro

I wanted to be tough
Not caring about the future
A robot
A sumo wrestler

A dealer running from a wolf dog
At the station in Bologna
A hen that lays golden eggs

But I’m nobody
I wasn’t born with a tough guy face
I’m scared of the dark
If I fight, I get my ass kicked

So they paint my eyes black
But I’ve never wasted time
It’s him who left me behind

Living life
Is a kid's game
Mom used to tell me and I
Fell out of trees

How hard the world is
For the normal folks
Who have little love around
Or too much sun in their glasses

I wanted to be tough
Not caring about the future, no
A robot
A gold medal of spit

The mugger waiting for you in the dark
The King of Porta Portese
The magpie that steals your wedding ring

Living life
Is a kid's game
Mom used to tell me and I
Fell out of trees

How hard the world is
For the normal folks
Who have little love around
Or too much sun in their glasses

I wanted to be tough
But I’m nobody
White belt in Judo
Instead of a star, a sneeze

The sunflowers with glasses told me
Watch out for the light
And that moons without holes

Are scams
Because in the end, it’s pointless to run
From your fears

Living life is a kid's game
I
I wanted to be tough

But I’m nobody
I’m nothing but Lucio
I’m nothing but Lucio
