Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very street today
If I don't get some shelter
I'm feel 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
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
I'm feel 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'
My very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
All mad bull has 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
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot awaaay...
Oh, no no no...
Rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Oh, rape, murder!
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Forgot sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
I 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
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very street today
If I don't get some shelter
I'm feel 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
