You can tell some of the teens in the audience are actually listening to the lyrics like "wow this is deep."

Di questi tempi...SOLDATO UNIVERSALEÈ alto un metro e sessanta o uno e novantaCombatte con missili o con spadeHa trent'anni suonati oppure diciassetteFa il soldato da mille anniÈ cattolico, induista, ateo, giainista,Buddista, battista o ebreoSa che non deve ammazzareE sa che sempreTi ammazzerà per me, amico, e mi ammazzerà per teCombatte per il Canada,Combatte per la Francia,Combatte per gli USA,Combatte per la Russia,Combatte per il GiapponeE pensa che così metteremo fine alla guerraCombatte per la democrazia,Combatte per i rossi,Dice che è per la pace di tuttiEd è lui che deve decidereChi deve vivere e chi morireE non vede mai le scritte sui muriMa senza di lui, come avrebbe fattoHitler a condannarlo a Dachau,Senza di lui Cesare sarebbe stato soloLui è quello che dona il suo corpoCome arma ad una guerraE senza di lui il massacro non può continuareUNIVERSAL SOLDIERHe'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 a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,A Buddhist and a Baptist 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 Canada,He's fighting for France,He's fighting for the USA,And he's fighting for the Russians,And he's fighting for Japan,And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.And 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,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 bodyAs a 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 here and there and you and me,And brothers can't you see,This is not the way we put the end to war.

Donnovan war in den 70-gern ein frühes Idol von mir. Ich finde seine Melodien und seinen Gitarrenstyle mit seinen eingängigen Akkorden auch heute noch toll.

Dieses Lied sollte viel öfter in den Medien zu hören sein. Es ist längst Zeit für eine neue Friedensbewegung

I have the most special memory. My father worked at a youth club and he told us about a talented person who had no idea how talented he was ...

'without him all this killing can't go on' - by 1971-72 the greater majority of us fighting troops in Vietnam, flat out refused direct orders to go into battle; this consciousness spread like wild fire, forcing Nixon to abandon the ground troop strategy, by beginning to bring home the troops. The reality of the situation is he had to go to an air war because his ground troops flat out refused to fight it out anymore. This was an unprecedented event in American history, the troops refusing to fight from unit to unit.Whole company units refused to move, and since the military stockades were over filled to capacity, the companies were held for arrest within their own company perimeter. Some now say it was this refusal to fight that had spread all over Vietnam, is what shut down the war; the troops, not Nixon . Read 'Soldiers in Revolt,' by David Cortright; it'll blow your mind. As weapons of the war, they chose not to be, and without them all this killing can't go on.'
