A funny look at a not-so-funny subject.

Lyrics

SUICIDE

Suicides are everywhere,
You see them on TV
But masochists who slash their wrists
Hold no appeal to me
Death will take me soon enough,
No need to lend a hand
So what?s the big attraction here?
I just don?t understand

Suicide (suffocation, inhalation)
Suicide (medication, laceration)
Suicide (drowning, jumping, stomach pumping)
Suicide (seem like all the rage)
Suicide (turning deep blue, drifting into)
Suicide (Jimi?s purple haze)
Oh, let me count the ways to suicide

Suicide?s against the law
And that?s how it should be
Anyone who kills himself
Should get the death penalty
Still there are those whose self-inflicted
Death would be just fine,
Like lying politicians
Who come ?round at election time

Suicide (suffocation, inhalation)
Suicide (medication, laceration)
Suicide (drowning, jumping, stomach pumping)
Suicide (seem like all the rage)
Suicide (turning deep blue, drifting into)
Suicide (Jimi?s purple haze)
Oh, let me count the ways to suicide

S Is for the sleeping pills
U You think will cure your ills
I Inhaling poison gas
C Can make you dead real fast
I I wouldn?t be so sure
D Death is the magic cure
E Eternity can ride
I ain?t got time for suicide


Suicide (suffocation, inhalation)
Suicide (medication, laceration)
Suicide (drowning, jumping, stomach pumping)
Suicide (seem like all the rage)
Suicide (turning deep blue, drifting into)
Suicide (Jimi?s purple haze)
Oh, let me count the ways
To forego all your days
Let me count the ways to suicide
