|
| He is five feet two, and he’s six feet four,
|
| he fights with missiles and with spears.
|
| He is 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 Chein,
|
| a Buddhist and a Babtist and a Jew.
|
| And he knows, he shouldn’t kill
|
| and he knows he always will,
|
| kill him for me my friend and 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 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 Hilter kill the people 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 put an end end to war. |
