Suicide Is Painless
April 10, 2004 @ 1:41 am
Did you know that the theme song from MASH has really depressing lyrics? Sing along..."Suicide Is Painless"
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
(chorus)
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.
(chorus)
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.
(chorus)
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...
(chorus)
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)
And you can do the same thing if you please.

Is this from the movie or the TV series? Although it's been years since I've seen it, I love the movie. And a young Donald Sutherland, sigh, so attractive :)

Both actually, and its wonderfully depressing - I might use it on a new mix cd sometime

the other this is that the movie and whole series was about living and working in a war medical facility - a depressing place. The whole thing was meant to be a commentary on the needlessness of war
