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,
im just a poor boy, i need no sympathy,
because im easy come, easy go, little high, little low,
any way the wind blows doesn really matter to me, to me

mama just killed a man,
put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now hes dead
mama, life had just begun,
but now ive gone and thrown it all away
mama, ooh, didn mean to make you cry,
if im 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, bodys aching all the time
goodbye, ev
ybody, ive got to go,
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
mama, ooh, i don want to die,
i sometimes wish id 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 fright
ing me
(galileo) galileo (galileo) galileo, galileo figaro
magnifico im just a poor boy and nobody loves me
hes 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) ah
no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(oh 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 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
