Everybody needs a little place they can hide Somewhere to call their own Don't let nobody inside Every now and then we all need to let go For some it's the doctor For me it's rock and roll For some it's a bottle For some it's a pill Some people wave the Bible Cause it's giving them a thrill Others point their finger If they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house Don't be throwing rocks at me We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed There ain't nothin' he won't try Meanwhine Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife Tipper lead the war against the record industry She said she saw the devil on her MTV To look into the cabinet It takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons And his ministry We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright Hit it now For some it's the needle For some it's the kill Some people wave the Bible 'Cause it's giving them a thrill You can spend your money Before you get your pay With a toss of the dice You can piss it all away We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
