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 for a thousand years.

He's a Catholic, a Hindu,
an atheist, A Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew,
and he knows he shouldn't kill,
but he knows he always will,
Kill ye for me, my friend, and I will kill 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,
he's fighting for j__an,
and he thinks we put an end to war that 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.

And without him, how would Hitler
kill the people at Dachau,
without him Caesar would have stood alone,
he's the one who gives his body
as a weapon of the war,
and without him always killing can't go on.

He's the universal soldier,
and he really is to blame,
his orders came from far away, no more,
they came from here and there and you and me
And brothers can't you see,
this is not the way we put an end to war.
