Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own
Dont let nobody inside
Every now and then we all need to let go
For some its the doctor
For me its rock and roll
For some its a bottle
For some its a pill
Some people wave the bible, cause its giving them a thrill
Others point their finger if they dont like what they see
If you live in a glass house, dont 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 itll be alright

Check out mr. politician in his suit and tie
But when the doors are closed there aint nothin he wont try
Meanwhile mr. medicines treating his best friends 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 jimmys 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 itll be alright
Hit it now

For some its the needle
For some its the kill
Some people wave the bible, cause its 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 itll be alright

Alright
We all need
A little shelter
We all need
A little shelter
Just a little helper
Oh lord, its gonna be alright
Come on now
Come on now and shelter me now
Just a little helper
Shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter
We all need
We need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and itll be alright
