Johnny Mandel
Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless)
[Verse 1]
Through early morning fog, I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realised that I can see
[Chorus]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 2]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card of some delay
So, this is all I have to say
[Chorus]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 3]
The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch I bring
[Chorus]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
[Verse 4]
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]
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I...
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And you can do the same thing if you please
