I might be wrong, but I was watching a live video for this song, and instead of "it brings on many changes" James sang "it brings a man to jesus". Either way its still a great song

i think the lyrics are corect above, but he probably did say that live, live performances are usually different, anyway isnt this song about in the war, caught in the trenchs, stuck and dieing slowly so the only way to escape a slow death is suicide? or some people were so nervouse and frightend of being killed during some battles in the war they commited suicide, just a though,

A cover version of the song used on MASH (Film / TV Series). Originally sung by Johnny Mandel with lyrics by Mike Altman (Robert Altman's son) then aged 14.

"The game of life is hard to play, I'm gonna lose it anyway." Those two lines are just bloody awesome. Great song.
