Universal Soldier |
He’s five foot two |
and he’s six feet four, |
he fights with missiles and with spears. |
He’s all of thirty-one |
and he’s only seventeen, |
He’s been a soldier through a thousand years. |
He’s a Catholic, a Hindu, |
an atheist, a Jain, |
a Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew. |
And he knows he shouldn’t kill |
and he knows he always will |
kill you for me my friend and me for you. |
And he’s fighting for Canada, |
he’s fighting for France, |
he’s fighting for the USA. |
And he’s fighting for the Russains |
and he’s fighting for Japan, |
and he thinks we’ll put an end to war this way. |
And he’s fighting for democracy, |
he’s fighting for the Reds, |
he says it’s for the peace of all. |
He’s the one who must decide, |
who’s to live and who’s to die, |
and he never sees the writing on the wall. |
But without him, how would Hitler |
have condemned him at Dachau, |
(note: There was a concentration camp, in german KZ, in 1945) |
without him Caesar would have stood alone. |
He’s the one who gives his body |
as a weapon of the war, |
and without him all this killing can’t go on. |
He’s the universal soldier, |
and he really is to blame, |
his orders come from far away, no more. |
They come from here and there and you and me |
and brothers can’t you see, |
this is not the way we put the end to war. |
