Suicide Is Painless (MASH Theme Song)
Lyrics By Mike Altman; Music By Johnny Mandel

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be,
The pains that are withheld for me,
I realize and I can see
That...

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna loose it anyway,
The losing card I'll someday lay;
So this is all I have to say:

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins,
It doesn't hurt when it begins,
But as it works its way on in;
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin...

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

A 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 me?"

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat,
And lay it down before I'm beat,
And to another give my seat,
For that's the only painless feat.

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate.
But now I know that it's too late, and...

Suicide is painless,
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
And you can do the same thing if you please.
