Universal Soldier (1966) Lyrics - Buffy Sainte-marie

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?
