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'
My very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its 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...

Oh, a Storm is Threat'ning...
My favorite Rolling Stones song, ever since I was a teenager. Admire the idealism, enjoy the sounds. "Gimme Shelter":
Tied with 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' at the top of my Stones list.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the events of 2010 have caused me to recall 'Street Fighting Man' from time to time.

Thanks for commenting, Liberty ...
ReplyDeleteActually, there's a couple of other favorites near the top. "Some Girls" came out around the time I really became a rock and roll junky, and haven't turned back since.
