(Yeah, that's cool)

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away (alright)
It's just a shot away (give it to me now)
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire sweepin'
Our streets today
Burn like a red coal carpet, honey
Mad bull lost his way

War (war), children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War (war), children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away, shot away, shot away, hey
(Hey, play it)

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

Though floods is threatening
My very life today
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme shelter
I'm gonna fade away
I'm gonna fade away
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, shot away, shot away, shot away, shot away
It's just a kiss away (yeah)
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away (a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away (a kiss away)
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children, yeah
Just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
