Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Mama, life has just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooh, I didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
(On, carry on)
Carry on, nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time

Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

(On, carry on, nothing really matters)
I didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
(On, carry on, nothing really matters)

No, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
(On, carry on, nothing really matters)

So you think you can stop and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Ooh, baby, can't do this, baby, just gotta get right out of here
Ooh, baby, can't do this, baby, just gotta get right out of here

On, carry on, nothing really matters
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
(On, carry on, nothing really matters)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows
