War, children, it's just a shot away
Songwriters: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
Come on gimme shelter
War, children, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
Our very street today
Oh the floods are threatening
Oh, a storm is threatening
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
If I don't get some shelter
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Love, oh love
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 kiss away, it's just a kiss away

Tell me you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
My very life today
Mad bull lost its way
Burns like a red coal carpet
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
Love, love, love
Kiss away, kiss away
War, children, it's just a shot away
Love, it's just a kiss away
Oh, see the fire sweepin'
Love
It's just a shot away
My very life today
Else I'm gonna fade away
Just a kiss away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
