🔥 Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again (cover) #rock #metal

Verse 1

He's five feet 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

Verse 2

He's 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

Verse 3

And he's killing for Canada, he's killing for France

He's killing for the USA

And he's killing for the Russians, and he's killing for Japan

And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

Verse 4

And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds

He says it's for the peace of us 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

Verse 5

But without him, how would Hitler have condemned him at Libau?

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

Verse 6

He's the universal soldier, and he rarely 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
