[Verse 1]
Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh, see the fire is sweepin'
Down through the streets today
Burn me like a blood-red carpet
Mad fool who lost the way
[Chorus]
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
[Outro]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
