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 a doctor, for me it's rock and roll      For some it's a bottle   For some it's a pill   Some people read the Bible cause it's givin' them a thrill      I was one to figure if they don't like what they see   If you live in a glass house don't be throwing rocks at me      (Chorus)      We all need a little shelter   Just a little helper to get us by   We all need a little shelter   Just a little helper ohhh and it'll be alright      Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie   But when the doors are closed there ain't nothing 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 skeleton's and his ministry      (Chorus)      For some it's a needle for some it's pill   Some people read 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      (Chorus)
