Lyrics [by Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones]:

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh 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 streets 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, 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

​

Mmm, a 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
