{Hawkind:}
Ooh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter
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
See the fire is sweeping
Our very 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
{Samantha:}
Rape and murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, rape, and murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, rape, and murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, rape, and murder, it's just a shot away
{Both:}
Mmm, the flood's 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
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Samantha: shot away)
Hawkind: I tell you love, sister
Samantha: Love, sister
Hawkind: It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love, love, sister
Samantha: Love, sister
Hawkind: It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Love, love, brother
Samantha: Love, brother
Hawkind: It's just a kiss away
Samantha: Kiss away
Hawkind: It's just a kiss away
Love, sister
Samantha: Love, sister
Hawkind: It's just a kiss away

Both: Kiss away
Samantha: Kiss away, kiss away, kiss away - yeah
(fade)
