Universal Soldier
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
Been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a christian, a hindu, an atheist, a jain,
A buddhist, and a muslim, 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 palestine
He's fighting for israel
He's fighting for the usa
And he's fighting for the russians
And he's fighting for iraq
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for democracy
He's fighting for his soil
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 is really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there, and you and me
And brother, can't you see
This is not the way we put an end to war
Soldado Universal
Él mide cinco pies dos, pero parece seis pies cuatro
Lucha con misiles y lanzas
Tiene treinta y uno, pero solo diecisiete
Ha sido soldado por mil años
Es cristiano, hindú, ateo, jainista,
Budista, musulmán y judío
Sabe que no debería matar
Y sabe que siempre lo hará
Matarte por mí, amigo, y yo por ti
Lucha por Palestina
Lucha por Israel
Lucha por EE. UU.
Y lucha por los rusos
Y lucha por Irak
Y cree que así acabaremos con la guerra
Lucha por la democracia
Lucha por su tierra
Dice: 'Es por la paz de todos'
Es él quien debe decidir quién vive y quién muere
Y nunca ve la escritura en la pared
Pero sin él, ¿cómo Hitler lo habría condenado en Dachau?
Sin él, César habría estado solo
Es quien da su cuerpo como arma de guerra
Y sin él, toda esta matanza no podría continuar
Es el soldado universal
Y realmente es culpable
Sus órdenes ya no vienen de lejos
Vienen de aquí y allá, de ti y de mí
Y hermano, ¿no puedes ver?
Así no es como acabamos con la guerra
