suicide is painless? are u serious? that song was written for the soundtrack of M*A*S*H when Painless Powolski thought he was committing doctor assisted suicide. Suicide is not painless except maybe for the person doing so. Think about the impact it has on friends and family members. That's why they bullshitted "Painless" into a bullshit suicide. They did not want to lose him.

If anything, get the original M*A*S*H movie and see how it was meant to be sung. Not from a heavy metal band advocating suicide.

From Wikipedia

"Suicide Is Painless" is a song written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Mike Altman (lyrics), which is best known for being featured as the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H.

Mike Altman is the son of the original film's director, Robert Altman, and was 14 years old when he composed the song's lyrics. On an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that his son earned more than a million dollars for co-writing the song while he only made $70,000 for directing the movie. In addition to being sung by Johnny Mandel over the film's opening credits, the movie also features a scene that begins when Walter Koskiusko Waldowski, a dentist nicknamed ?Painless Pole?, declares his intention to commit suicide, and the song is sung by Ken Prymus (playing Sergeant Seidman) during the suicide scene. Several instrumental versions of the song were used as the theme for the TV series (in which ?Painless Pole? was mentioned, but never appeared).

Then cover versions come along

Manic Street Preachers released a cover version as a charity single to help The Spastics Society (now Scope) in 1992. It was their first UK top ten hit.

but you have to see the movie to understand why the song is so important, not just have the cassette. bands just cannot re-record a song without the visual concept it was intended to portray. it was meant for one thing and now means another. i have seen the victims of suicide. i am a victim of suicide. the rights to the song should have never have been released.
