Main Offender (2021 Remaster) [Deluxe Edition]

2021

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
There was a storm just threatening
My very life today
Baby, if I don't get me some shelter
Yes, I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
Yeah, war, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
[Verse 2]
Hey, there's a fire a-sweeping
Our very street today
Burns like a red, heated carpet
Mad bull lost his way
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
Hey, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
[Interlude]
War, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, alright, yeah
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
It's just a shot away, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah
[Verse 1]
Yes, there is a storm a-threatеning
My very life today
Baby, if I don't get mе some shelter
Yes, I'm gonna fade away
[Chorus]
War, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away, just a shot away
Yeah, children
It's just a shot away
Yeah, sister
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
[Post-Chorus]
Just a shot away
Just a shot away
Just a shot away
Just a shot away
[Outro]
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
It's just a shot away, shot, shot, shot away
It's just a shot away, a shot, a shot, a shot away
Gimme shelter, it's just a shot away
Dig these guys
