Lyrics
Yes, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
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, yeah
Yes, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very streets today
Earth like a burnin' carpet
Mad bull lost your 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 (yeah-yeah)
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, yeah
Yeah, see the floods is threatening
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
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, shot away, shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
Yeah
Love, sister, it's just a kiss away
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, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter
Gimme shelter, yeah alright
Gimme shelter, yeah alright
Alright, yeah
Fire
Thank you
Thank you very much
Alright, alright
