(Written by Buffy St. Marie)
(As recorded by Glen Campbell - 1965)
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
He knows he shouldn`t kill
But he knows he always will
Kill you, my friend, for me and me for you
He`s fighting for Canada, he`s fighting for France
He`s fighting for the USA
He`s fighting for the Russians
And he`s fighting for Japan
And he thinks he`ll put an end to war that way
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
But he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him how would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He`s the one who gives his body
As the 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 brother, can`t you see
This is not the way to put an end to war Send " Universal Soldier" Ringtone to your Cell
