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...
