Universal Soldier — текст песни (Donovan)

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER

He is five foot two,
anbd he`s six feet four,
he fights with missiles and with spears,
he is all of thirty-one,
and he`s only a seventeen,
`s been a soldier for thousands years.

He`s a Catolic, a Hindy,
an atheist, A Chein,
A Buddhist, a Baptist and a Jew,
and he knows, he shouldn`t kill,
and he knows, he always will,
care for me, my friend, and I will care 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 Russains,
he`s fihgting for Japan,
and he thinks we put an end to war this way.

And he`s fighting for democrazy,
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.

And without him, how would Hitler
kill the people at Dachau,
without him Cesar would have stood alone,
he`s the one, who gives his body
as a weapon of the war,
and without him always killing cant gho on.

He`s the universal soldier,
and he really is to blame,
his orders came from far away, no more,
they came from here and there,
and you and me ain`t brothers,
can`t you see,
this is not the way we put an end to war.
