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,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
To me...

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 Ive gone and thrown it all away!
Mama, ooo!
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 everybody - Ive got to go.
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama ooo...
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all...

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me!
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Figaro, magnifico!
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me!
He's just a poor boy from a poor family -
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
Easy come easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No! We will not let you go!
Let him go!
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go!
Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let me go!
Will not let you go!
Let me go!
Will not let you go!
Let me go!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go!
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me...

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye -
So you think you can love me and leave me to die -
Oh baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here.

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

(Any way the wind blows....)
