[00:12.19] He's five feet two and he's six feet four
[00:16.77] He fights with missiles and with spears
[00:22.10] He's all of 31 and he's only 17
[00:27.29] He's been a soldier for a thousand years
[00:31.30] He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain
[00:37.55] a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
[00:41.76] and he knows he shouldn't kill
[00:44.74] and he knows he always will
[00:47.37] kill you for me my friend and me for you
[00:52.43] And he's fighting for Canada
[00:55.30] he's fighting for France
[00:57.65] he's fighting for the USA
[01:01.96] and he's fighting for the Russians
[01:04.91] and he's fighting for Japan
[01:07.31] and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
[01:11.95] And he's fighting for Democracy
[01:15.20] he's fighting for the Reds
[01:17.48] He says it's for the peace of all
[01:22.10] He's the one who must decide
[01:24.68] who's to live and who's to die
[01:27.90] and he never sees the writing on the walls
[01:31.99] But without him how would Hitler have
[01:34.87] condemned him at Dachau
[01:36.96] Without him Caesar would have stood alone
[01:41.26] He's the one who gives his body
[01:43.68] as a weapon to a war
[01:46.57] and without him all this killing can't go on
[01:50.83] He's the universal soldier
[01:53.67] and he really is to blame
[01:55.91] His orders come from far away no more
[02:00.37] They come from him, and you, and me
[02:03.81] and brothers can't you see
[02:07.35] this is not the way we put an end to war.
