IntroEm
Verse 1He's Cfive feet Dtwo, and he's Emsix feet four
He fiCghts with missiles Dand with spEmears
He's Call of thirty-oDne, and he's only sEmeventeen
He's been a Csoldier for a thousand yAmearsDEm
Verse 2He's a CCatholic, a DHindu, an AEmtheist, a Jain
a CBuddhist, and a BDaptist, and a EmJew
And he Cknows he shouldn't kDill, and he Emknows he always will
Kill you for Cme, my friend, and me for AmyouDEm
Verse 3And he's Ckilling for CDanada, he's kEmilling for France
He's Ckilling for the DUSAEm
And he's Ckilling for the DRussians, and he's Emkilling for Japan
And he tChinks we'll put an end to war this AmwayDEm
Verse 4And he's Cfighting for deDmocracy, he's fEmighting for the Reds
He sCays it's for the pDeace of us aEmll.
He's the Cone who must decDide who's to lEmive and who's to die
And he Cnever sees the writing on the Amwall.DEm
Verse 5But wCithout him, how wouldD Hitler have conEmdemned him at Dachau?
WiCthout him, Caesar wDould have stood aEmlone
He's the Cone who gives his bDody as a weEmapon of the war
And withCout him all this killing can't go AmonDEm
Verse 6He's the uCniversal sDoldier, and he Emrarely is to blame
His oCrders come from fDar away, no Emmore
They come from Chere and there, and Dyou and me
And brEmothers, can't you see?
This is nCot the way we put the end toAm war
