For the best effect, please be sure and enjoy watching my homemade amateur video recording in "FULL SCREEN" mode. 

Written by a fourteen (14) year old boy, the lyrics refer to a lonely, depressed dentist serving with the United States Army in the Republic of Korea, whose nickname is, "Suicide", and who specializes in pain free dentistry.




"SUICIDE IS PAINLESS"
(The Theme From "M*A*S*H")

Lyrics by: MIKE ALTMAN
Music by: JOHNNY MANDEL

VERSE # 01:
Through early morning
Fog, I see
Visions of the
Things to be.
The pains that are
Withheld from me,
I realize and
I can see,

CHORUS:
Suicide is painless.
It brings on
Many changes,
And I can take
Or leave it
If I please.

VERSE # 02:
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.

VERSE # 03:
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,

VERSE # 04:
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.

VERSE # 05:
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.

VERSE # 06:
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?"
