“Song From MASH (Suicide Is Painless)”
Music by Johnny Mandel
Lyrics by Mike AltmanThrough early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realise that I can seeThat suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I pleaseThe game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to saySuicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I pleaseThe sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grinSuicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I pleaseA brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied oh why ask meSuicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I pleaseAnd you can do the same thing if you please
It goes without saying that suicide isn’t painless. Even if you are lucky enough to do it in a manner which doesn’t hurt yourself and it can go wrong so easily, the people left behind are left with a lot a pain to deal with so… thanks lyrics.
