Lyrics:
Oh, a storm is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Oh 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
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin’
Our very street today
Burns like a red coat carpet
Mad bull lost your way
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
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
The flood is threat’ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or 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 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

Guitar work is incredible
That voice crack at 3:00 will forever be tbe greatest note hit in music.
Got a better take on the perilous we're living in?
This song always had the best beat. The whole beginning was a masterpiece
Merry Clayton deserves more recognition, this song wouldn't be complete without the rawness in her voice!
Everyone fucking hates us but man did we make some music!
When I first heard this from my dad as a kid I thought it said oooooooh shelter it's just a shout away lol
Something about this song.

It has been said many times before that only the dead know peace… as a veteran of multiple foreign Wars myself with the US Army and some ragtag crack outfits, I say spread as much peace amongst the enemy as you can… but I hope my own government gives me shelter when needed over there, but especially as we come home… War is Hell, or pretty close to it I imagine. My experiences have definitely given me a few bizarre experiences, and even has made me vote Republican libertarian, anything but leftist greed for wealth power (lots of Republicans still are in this RINO class, they're even worse). To each their own though!
WOW x 1,000
Oooo, see the fire is sweepin' our very streets today
I quite like this. A lot
still brings goose bumps to me as the lyrics are still relevant even after using this as an anti war call during Vietnam war.. I wonder if whoever wrote it realised its profound lasting message would still be relevant going into 2022
This is the gangster song in the movies

This is some great music!!!
time for my criminal empire to come crashing down 🙂
