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
Live in a glass house, don't throw your 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 ooh, and it'll be alright, yeah
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
When the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife
Tipper led 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, ooh, 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, ooh, and it'll be alright
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh, and it'll be alright
Alright
(We all need) we all need
(A little shelter) a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh, and it'll be alright
(We all need) we all need
(A little shelter) a little shelter
(Just a little helper) just a little helper
(Ooh, and it'll be alright) oh Lord, it's gonna be alright
(We all need) come on now
(A little shelter) come on now and shelter me now
(Just a little helper) just a little helper
(Ooh, and it'll be alright) shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter
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
Live in a glass house, don't throw your rocks at me
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
