Suicide is painless


It brings on many changes
And 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 I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

It's interesting that the lyrics never featured in the TV show (as far as I can remember).

As hopeless and painfull as the song is it really suited the tone of the movie and show...kudos to whoever wrote and performed it

In retrospect, the lyrics seem deep and heavy. Yet teenage Michael Altman got the task to write the lyrics because Robert Altman specifically wanted it to be "the stupidest song ever written."
