Jack White - universal soldier

이 노래는 여러 신념을 가진 전사에 대한 이야기로, 그는 모든 전쟁에 참여하면서도 평화를 원한다
그는 자신이 싸우며 죽음을 결정짓는 역할을 하지만, 그로 인해 발생하는 끔찍한 결과를 인식하지 못한다
결국 그는 전쟁이 계속되게 만드는 핵심적인 인물로 그려진다

He's five foot two and he’s six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
Been a soldier for a thousand years
He’s a Christian, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Muslim 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 Palestine, he's fighting for Israel
He's fighting for the USA
And he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Iraq
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he’s fighting for democracy, he’s fighting for his soul
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 body as a weapon of the war
And without him, all this killing can’t go on, no
