Suicide Is Painless in OD

This is one of my favourite Manics/depression songs ( and amazingly for me it is a cover). It also appears in M*A*S*H* (the film)

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are witheld for me
I realise that I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card of some day
So this is all I have to say

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works it’s way on in
The pain grows stronger watch I bring

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is to be or not to be
And I reply oh why ask me

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

P.S. admit it, you only read this because of the entry name.
