Seriously. There has been enough video shot since 2018-02-14 to date to make a completely new video depicting the lyricsEXACTLY as written.
That is all, just let it stew in your brains’ slow cookers for a while. I would do it myself but all I have is a broken Chromebook that I’m kludging around the broken bits, and no software. So someone else is going to have to carry the ball on this idea. Here’s what you got to work with:
Oh, a storm is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away
(2016 campaign montage)
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
(Syria montage)
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin’
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
(Charlottesville march?)
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
(Pick a school shooting)
Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
(Pick another shooting)
Rape, murder yeah!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away
(Pick another school shooting)
Rape, murder!
It’s just a shot away
It’s just a shot away yea
(Toronto Incel murder spree with van)
The floods is threat’ning
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I’m gonna fade away
(Hurricane Maria)
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 tell you 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
It’s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Well, it’s a thought, anyways.
