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 LIEBAU
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 KILLIN' 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
