Ooh, see the storm is threatening my very life today,
And if I don't get some shelter, ooh 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, yeah, yeah,
Oh, yeah.

Ooh, see the fire is sweeping my very street today,
Burns like a red coal carpet,
Mad bull has lost it's way.

War, children - it's just a shot away,
It's just a shot away,
War, children, yeah - it's just a shot away,
It's just a shot away, yeah.

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,
Rape, murder, yeah, yeah, - it's just a shot away,
Ooh, it's just a shot.

It's just a shot away, just a shot away,
It's just a shot away, just a shot away, (it's just a shot)
It's just a shot away, just a shot away, (rape, murder - 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,
War, children, yeah - it's just a shot away,
It's just a shot away,
War, children, yeah - 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.

I tell you, 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, kiss away, kiss away,
(fade)
