Intro: 4 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 'n' roll For some it's the bottle, for some it's the pill Some people wave the bible 'cuz it's giving them a thrill Some people point the finger 'cuz they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house, don't go throwin' 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 all right Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treatin' his best friend's wife Tipper led the war against the music industry She said she saw the devil on the MTV To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his ministry Chorus For some it's the needle, for some it's the kill Some people wave the bible 'cuz 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
