“Gimme Shelter”
Oh, a storm is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade awayWar, 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 awayOoh, see the fire is sweepin’
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your wayWar, 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 awayRape, 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 awayThe floods is threat’ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I’m gonna fade awayWar, 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 awayI tell you love, sister, it’s just a kiss away
It’s just a kiss away
