Oh a storm is threatening 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, yeah

Ooh see the fire is sweepin' our very streets today
Burn 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, muder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, muder, yeah it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, muder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Mm, the flood 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
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, yeah
