this song was a protest song for the vietnam war hes trying to say that "im going to die anyway and it will be painfull so i mite aswell just kill myself with morfeen wich so many soldiers did and control his own destiny. peace please
The song was actually written for the movie M*A*S*H (1970). There's a scene in which a dentist wants to commit suicide because he thinks he's gay. The other doctors at the MASH hold a mock funeral for him while he's still alive, and another character sings this song during the 'funeral'. Then, when they made the TV series, an instrumental version was used for the theme. However, I believe the movie itself, while set in Korea, was a commentary on Vietnam.
could someone post the scene when the foster parent helps the two emo kids commit suicide, but the girl begs her mom to save her? its so emotional. plz
@jaydog1944 Yes an artist...almost like if Van Gogh was painting Starry Night and decided to leave one of the corners unpainted. That's what the abrupt end of this video makes me think.

its true that more people commit suicide during and after war then die in war. the u.k. national m.o.d. statistics clearly states this.
