Gimme Shelter
Lyrics
Ooh, the 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 yeah
It's just a shot away, It's just a shot away
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, see the fire it's sweepin'
Out in the streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull has lost his way
War, children
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
Yeah, yeah
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 yeah
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 yeah
Ooh the flood is threatening
My very life today
Give me, give me shelter
I believe I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away, It's just a shot away yeah
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 yeah)
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, It's just a kiss away
It just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away,
it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away yeah
Yeah (kiss away)
