Universal Soldier

- Buffy Sainte-Marie -


He's 5 foot 2 and he's 6 feet 4
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
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 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 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 Hitles have condemned him at Dachau?
Without him Ceasar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon to a war
And without him all this killing can't go on

He's the universal soldier
And he really is to blame
His orders comes from
Far away no more

They come from him
And you and me
And brothers can't you see 
This is not the way we put an end to war!
