| 's been a s | oldier for t | housand y | ears. |
| 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 to war. |
