Johnny Mandel - M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless) lyrics

rate me

Through Early morning fog I see<br />

Visions of the things to be<br />

The pains that are withheld for me<br />

I realize and I can see<br />

<br />

(chorus) <br />

That Suicide is Painless<br />

It brings on many changes<br />

And I can take or leave it if I please<br />

<br />

Try to find a way to make<br />

All our little joys relate<br />

Without that ever present hate<br />

But now I know that it's too late<br />

And (chorus)<br />

<br />

The game of life is hard to play<br />

I'm going to lose it anyway<br />

The losing card I'll someday lay<br />

So this is all I have to say<br />

That (chorus)<br />

<br />

The only way to win is cheat<br />

And lay it down before I'm beat<br />

And to another give a seat<br />

For that's the only painless feat<br />

'Cause (chorus)<br />

<br />

The sword of time will pierce our skins<br />

It doesn't hurt when it begins<br />

But as it works it's way on in<br />

The pain grow stronger watch it grin<br />

For (chorus)<br />

<br />

A brave man once requested me<br />

To answer questions that are key<br />

Is it to be or not to be<br />

And I replied "Oh why ask me."<br />

Cause (chorus)<br />

And you can do the same thing if you please
