Campbell, Glen - Universal Soldier Lyrics
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
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
He knows he shouldn't kill
But he knows he always will
Kill you, my friend, for me and me for you
He's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
He's fighting for the Russians
And he's fighting for Japan
He's fighting for democracy, 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
But he never sees the writing on the wall
But without him how would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
As the weapon of the war
And without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from him and you, and me
And brother, can't you see?
This is not the way to put an end to war

Excellent Version of this Song! Mr. Campbell was also (besides Country Music) a true Folkie (I love
his Folk Guitar Musings on The Byrds LP "Mr. Tambourine Man"), the guy was a pure genius, great vocal, incredible...
I love this Version. Grüße aus Germany !
What a killer jam! Thanks 4 sharing
One of Glen`s early classic songs, I like Glen`s singing a lot, lots of great songs he did.
My favorite version of this song....Love Glen's 12 string guitar.
A great rendition by Glenn Campbell but nobody can sing it like Donovan.
What a hit cover. Should be in a vietnam war movie or im not aware of.
