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
|
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 him 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
|
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'll put the end to war
|
