| 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 though 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 | |
| But he knows he always will, | |
| Kill 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 put an end to war. |
