Gimme Shelter Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, that's cool
[Verse 1]
Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, ooh, I'm gon' 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
[Verse 2]
Oh, I see a fire sweeping our streets today
Burn like a red-coal carpet, honey, mad bull lost its way
[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
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away
Yeah, that's cool
[Verse 1]
Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, ooh, I'm gon' 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
[Verse 2]
Oh, I see a fire sweeping our streets today
Burn like a red-coal carpet, honey, mad bull lost its way
[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
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away
Shot away
[Bridge]
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
[Verse 3]
Oh, the flood is threatening my very life today
Oh, give me, give me, give me, give me shelter or I'm going to fade away
I'm going to fade away
I'm going to fade away
[Chorus]
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
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
[Outro]
Just a kiss away
War, children
Just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
[Verse 3]
Oh, the flood is threatening my very life today
Oh, give me, give me, give me, give me shelter or I'm going to fade away
I'm going to fade away
I'm going to fade away
[Chorus]
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
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
[Outro]
Just a kiss away
War, children
Just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
