Suicide Is Painless

Smalltown Singers


Through early morning fog I see 
The visions of the things to be 
The pains that are withheld for me 
I realize and I can see... 
(::Refrain:::) 
That suicide is painless 
It brings on many changes 
And I can take or leave it if I please. 
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. 
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... 
(::Refrain::) 
*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. 
(::Refrain::) 
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 
(::Refrain::) 
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 please
