M*A*S*H*

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...

[REFRAIN]:

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...

[REFRAIN]

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.

[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, but...

[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?'

[REFRAIN]

'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.

This is one of my all time favorite shows. I have the original movie and love the reruns. I was stationed in S. Korea from 1986-1987 and later went for 2 weeks of annual training with one of my reserve units.

I know it sounds corny.........but I can really relate to allot of the satire about the army life. Watching it is like being transported back into time when I was on active duty....22 years ago when I was sent to Korea...wow....22 years.

Time flies....you think you have it all and in an instant you look in the mirror and find another gray hair.

Ok, ok...getting a little morose here but man....yeah..............the game of life is hard to play--I'm gonna lose it anyway........and I can take it or I can leave it.......and I think I'll take it.
