Universal Soldier Lyrics by Lobo

Just a Singer

0

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 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 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 him, and you and me
And brothers, can't you see
This is not the way we'll put the end to war
