Universal Soldier (1966)
He's five feet two and he's six feet fourHe fights with missiles and with spearsHe's all of thirty-one and he's always seventeenHe's been a soldier for a thousand yearsHe's fighting for Britain and he's fighting for IraqHe's fighting for the USAHe's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for JapanAnd he thinks he'll put an end to war this wayHe's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the redsHe says he's for the peace of allHe's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to dieAnd he never sees the writing on the wallBut without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Le ValWithout him Caesar would have stood aloneHe's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the warAnd without him all this killing can't go onHe's the universal soldierHe really is to blameHis sword has come from far away no moreThey come from you and meAnd brothers / sisters can't you seeThis is not the way we put an end to war?
