Buffy Sainte-Marie - Universal Soldier Lyrics
He's five feet two and he's six feet fourHe fights with missiles and with spearsHe's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeenHe's been a soldier for a thousand yearsHe's a catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a JaneA Buddhist and a Baptist and JewAnd he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always willYou'll for me my friend and me for youAnd he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for FranceHe's fighting for the usaAnd he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for JapanAnd he thinks we'll put an end to war this wayAnd he's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the redsHe says it's for the peace of allHe's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to dieAnd he never sees the writing on the wallBut without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Le ValWithout him Caesar would have stood aloneHe's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the warAnd without him all this killing can't go onHe's the universal soldier and he really is to blameBut his orders come from far away no moreThey come from him and you and me and brothers can't you seeThis is not the way we put an end to war?
