Lyrics:

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



Oh, a storm is threat'ning

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away



War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away



Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'

Our very street today

Burns like a red coal carpet

Mad bull lost its way



War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away



Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away



Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away



Rape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away



The floods is threat'ning

My very life today

Gimme, gimme shelter

Or I'm gonna fade away



War, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away, kiss away
