Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Mama, life had 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, body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, ev'rybody, 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.
::chorus:::
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
I Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can love me and leave me to die.
Ooooooooh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, just gotta get right outta here.(--Pause--)
ooooooooh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, just gotta get right outta here.
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
