Grand Funk Railroad

Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad toured constantly to packed arenas worldwide. A popular take on the band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan. more »

Ooo
Ooo

Ooo, 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

Ooo, see the fire sweeping up every street today
Burns like a red coal 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

Ooo, 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
