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.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see,
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye! 
So you think you can love me and leave me to die 
Ooh, baby 
Can't do this (Ooh, baby сan't do this) 
Just got to get out (Just got to get out)
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye! 
So you think you can love me and leave me to die 

Too late, my time [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
Mama, ooh, I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all.

Nothing really matters 
Anyone can see 
Nothing really matters 
Nothing really matters 
To me
