Lyrics Snippet #2

Today's lyrics snippet is from the song "Suicide is Painless" which was the title song for the TV show "M.A.S.H." (and the movie as well). I always enjoyed watching that show...because it was funny, sarcastical, cynical and touching.

It's hard to pick only a part of the song, since all the stanzas are pretty good. I went for the last one:

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.

"Suicide is Painless" - Music by Johnny Mandel, Lyrics by Mike Altman
