(Theme from M*A*S*H*)

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

[REFRAIN]:

That 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

[REFRAIN]

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

[REFRAIN]

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

[REFRAIN]

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 strongerwatch it grin, but

[REFRAIN]

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?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause 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
