The Universal Soldier

(intro) He is five feet two, and he`s six feet four, he fights with missiles and with spears. He is all of thirty-one, and he`s only seventeen, `s been a soldier for a thousand years. He`s a Catholic, a Hindu, and 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 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 we`ll 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 walls. 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 to the war, and without him all this killing can`t go on. He`s the universal soldier and he really is to blame, but his orders come from far away no more, they come from here, and you and me, and brothers can`t you see, this is not a way we put an end to war.
