Donovan Leitch - Universal Soldier lyrics

Your rating:


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.
