Lyrics

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Oh a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, ooh yeah, I'm going to 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 sweeping our very streets today
Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull, lost your way

War, children, yeah
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
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, yeah
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 a flood is threatening my very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter, or I'm going to 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
