Lyrics

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
