Altman

di Ron Mann

Nonostante M*A*S*H e i titoli più noti degli Anni Novanta, la notorietà di questo grande regista è sempre stata in discussione.
Così innovativo da essere perennemente in lotta con le mayor e spesso in difficoltà per la raccolta dei fondi necessari alle proprie produzioni.
Spesso denigrato dalla critica e incompreso dal grande pubblico, salvo poi essere rivalutato a posteriori.


Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
And this is all I have to say, that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give a seat
For that's the only painless feat, cause

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger - watch it grin

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be?
And I replied, "Oh why ask me?", cause

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

And you can do the same thing if you please.
