Oh, a storm is threat-'ning
my ver-y life to-day
- If I don't get some shel-ter
Oh yeah, I'm gon-na fade a-way
- War, - chil-dren, - it's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
War, - chil-dren, - it's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
Ooh, see the fire is swee-pin'
our ver-y street to-day
Burns like a red coal car-pet
Mad bull lost your way
War, - chil-dren, - it's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
War, - chil-dren, - it's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way

Rape and mur-der!
- It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
Rape and mur-der!
- It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
Rape and mur-der!
- It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
Mmm, the floods is threat'-ning
my ver-y life to-day
Gim-me, gim-me shel-ter
or I'm gon-na fade a-way
War, - chil-dren, - it's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
It's just a shot a-way
I tell you love, - sis-ter,
- It's just a kiss a-way
It's just a kiss a-way
It's just a kiss a-way
It's just a kiss a-way
It's just a kiss a-way
Kiss a-way, kiss a-way
