Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

For some it's a bottle

For some it's a pill

Some people wave the Bible

'Cause it's giving them a thrill

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

To get us by

[Verse 5]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

[Verse 6]

Check out Mister Politician in his suit and tie

But when the doors are closed

There ain't nothing he won't try

Meanwhile, Mister Medicine's treating his best friend's wife

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

To get us by

[Verse 9]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

Hit it now

[Verse 10]

I know for some it's the needle

For some it's the kill

Some people wave the Bible

'Cause it's giving them a thrill

[Verse 11]

You can spend your money

Before you get your pay

With a toss of the dice

You can piss it all away

[Verse 12]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

To get us by

[Verse 13]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

[Verse 14]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

[Verse 15]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

[Verse 16]

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

I know it's gonna be alright

[Verse 17]

We all need

Come on, now

A little shelter

Come on, now, shelter me, now

[Verse 18]

Just a little helper

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

Shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter

Shelter, shelter, shelter, shelter

[Verse 19]

We all need

We need a little shelter

Just a little helper

Ooh, and it'll be alright

[Verse 20]

We all need

We all need

A little shelter
