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...
Didn't mean to make you cry.
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on,
As if nothing really matters.

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
My body's aching all the time.
Goodbye everybody,
I've got to go.
Gotta leave it all behind and face the truth.

Mama, ooh...
Didn't mean to make you cry.
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on,
As if nothing really matters.

Mama, ooh...
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I've never been born at all
Carry on, carry on,
As if nothing really matters.

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see.
Nothing really matters to me...
