suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

M*A*S*H

I can't believe how many people don't know that song has lyrics

no it's not

"certain varieties of suicide can be painless if done properly" isn't quite as catchy.

I can take or leave it if I please.

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...



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...



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.



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.



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...


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 please.

The game of life is hard to play

thats my fav. part of the song...always has been

+1

my favorite bit, when i'm doing tv theme song games, is seeing who can give me the title of the M*A*S*H theme

When I used to give tours of NBC as a page we would tell the tourists the the mountians in back of the studio were used in the opening shot for MASH. It was a total lie and they always took pictures. We were such assholes.

*throws away pictures of the mountains behind NBC studios*

Let me guess, you also took pics of the oil stains where "Jay Leno parks his car"?

i love marilyn manson's cover of "suicide is painless".

my parents used to watch MASH all the freakin' time when i was a kid.

Love that song. I think M*A*S*H was my first favorite TV show as a kid, along with St. Elsewhere and Hill St. Blues. Yeah, I didn't watch many cartoons (only G.I Joe and Transformers), just what my mom watched on TV.

That song was my lullabye when I was a wee one. Well, the theme version, without words. So sleepy...

I love that it's the last supper scean.

Hawkeye is my hero.

both of them.
