Gimme Shelter Lyrics By Grand Funk Railroad

    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

    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 redcoal carpet mad bull lost it’s 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

    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

    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

    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

    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
