Universal soldier

Ég setti saman nokkrar myndir við ljóð og lag Buffy St. Marie 
Universal Soldier (Alheimslegi hermaðurinn) flutt af Donovan.
Það er komið til ára sinna veit ég , 
þótt boðskapurinn eigi e.t.v. aldrei betur við. 
Það eru fleiri sem hafa gert þetta sama og það má finna 
á youtube nokkrar slíkar tilraunir. 
En þetta er sem sagt mitt mitt framlag. 
 
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.
