Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless) 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
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
That 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
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
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 it burn
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
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
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
I can take or leave it if I please
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And you can do the same thing if you please
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card of some delay
So this is all I have to say
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it burn
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied oh why ask me
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I...
It brings on many changes
I can take or leave it if I please
It brings on many changes
And you can do the same thing if you please

Dude, you realise that Richey wasn't even born when this song was written? The Manics just covered it.
A cover version of the song used on MASH (Film / TV Series). Originally sung by Johnny Mandel with lyrics by Mike Altman (Robert Altman's son) then aged 14.
Suicide is easy it's life that hurts."It's not dying that's sad it's living when your not happy" - torture garden
The didn't. Not this version anyway. This is a cover. And I think the original was written for Mash as much as Flash was written for Flash Gordon.
No comments? :o I love it..I'm so touched by this song.
i love these lyrics
The Torture Garden...what a messed up book
Pure poetry, what else should I say
I might be wrong, but I was watching a live video for this song, and instead of "it brings on many changes" James sang "it brings a man to jesus". Either way its still a great song
