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

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...



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.



That 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, but...



That 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, but...



That 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?'



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 choose.
