Lyrics:

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... 

[chorus]: 

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] 

MASH 
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?' 

'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.
