UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

(Buffy Ste. Marie)



He's five foot two and he's six foot four

He fights with missiles and with spears

He's all of 31 and he's only 17

He's been a soldier for a thousand years



He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist and a Jane

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 friends, and me for you



He's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France

He's fighting for the USA

and 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's fighting for the good of all

He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die

And he never reads the writing on the wall



He's the universal soldier and he is really is to blame

His orders come from far away no more

They come from him and you and me and brothers, can't you see

This is not the way to put an end to war
