Universal Soldier (1966) Lyrics

Universal Soldier (1966) lyrics

He's five feet two and he's six feet four

 He fights with missiles and with spears

 He's all of thirty-one and he's always seventeen

 He's been a soldier for a thousand years

 He's fighting for Britain and he's fighting for Iraq

 He's fighting for the USA

 He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan

 And he thinks he'll put an end to war this way

 He's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the reds

 He says he'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 Le Val

 Without him Caesar would have stood alone

 He's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the war

 And without him all this killing can't go on

 He's the universal soldier

 He really is to blame

 His sword has come from far away no more

 They come from you and me

 And brothers / sisters can't you see

 This is not the way we put an end to war?
