Grand Funk Railroad - Gimme Shelter lyrics

Oooo, oooo, oooo. Oooo, oooo, oooo. Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today. If I don't get some shelter, oh, 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. Oooo, see the fire sweeping, up every street today. Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull lost it's way. [CHORUS] 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, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today. If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade 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 away, it's just a shot away. I said a 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, kiss away, kiss away. [CHORUS] [CHORUS] Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away. Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away. War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away. Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away. [repeat alternation to fade]
