[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
yeah, this storm is threatening
my very life today
if i don’t get some shelter
ooh yeah, i’m gonna fade away

[chorus]
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
yeah!

[verse 2]
yeah, see the fire is sweeping
our very street today
burns like a red coal carpet
mad bull lost your way

[chorus]
war, children
it’s just a shot away
war, children
it’s just a shot away, it’s just a shot away
yeah!

it’s just a shot away, it’s just a shot away

[verse 3]
yeah, and the flood’s threatening
my very life today
gimme, gimme shelter
or i’m going to fade away

[chorus]
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
yeah, yeah
