Universal Soldier

Lyrics

He's five foot-two and he's six feet-four
 He fights with missiles and with spears
 He's all of 31 and he's only 17
 Been a soldier for a thousand year
 He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
 A Buddhist, and 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 U.S.A
 And he's fighting for the Russians
 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 them at Labau?
 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
