M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless) Songtext

von 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

[Chorus]
(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 lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
[Chorus]

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give a seat
For that's the only painless feat
[Chorus]

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works it's way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin
[Chorus]

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."
[Chorus]

And you can do the same thing if you please
