The Poem: Suicide Song
When you fall into depression
But you get the strong impression
That something deep inside you wants to laugh
If you think you might be fakin
Well you can always take an
Electric fire into the bath
If you're in deep confusion
'Bout the method to be usin
If you want to end it all and life to pass
Make your peace with God above an'
Stick your head inside the oven
And pretty soon you'll find that Death's a Gas !
Doing yourself in
Maybe isn't such a sin
As all those times you do yourself down
If you're feeling less than frisky
Jump in a vat of whiskey
It isn't just your troubles you will drown
If you find you're hesitatin
But you're sick and tired of waitin
And you want to meet your maker really fast
Take a key from your pocket
And stick it in a socket
Now that's a SHOCKING way to breathe your last
If your life is down the drain
Put a bullet in your brain
It isn't you will have to clear up after
To choose to live some more
Or your brains across the floor
Quite honestly I don't know which is dafter
If you're left up on the shelf
And you want to top yourself
And you want to give yourself a helping hand
Go to the thirteenth storey
Make one last leap for glory
You'll just have time to think "My, ain't death grand !"
To kill yourself is selfish
Be it booze or poisoned shellfish
Just think what your loved ones will go through
And so before you do it
Just think carefully through it
What have those wankers ever done for you?
If you're the artistic kind
And you really want to find
A special way to take your last breath
I know I might be wrong
But you could always use this song
Just keep listening, you can bore yourself to death
There are pills and razorblades
In no hurry? Just catch AIDS
-Even though it's not politically correct !
You might think it's rather funky
To do it like a junkie
So find something lethal to inject
I know it isn't nice
But put into a vice
An electric drill - and then apply your head
I know it's really gory
But this is a true story
It took 14 holes before he was dead
If you tell yourself "Ah - Screw it!
The time has come to do it"
And you really want to give one final show
If you're lacking in aplomb
Just become a human bomb
You can take a few more with you when you go
