shelter me

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

If you live in a glass house, don’t 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 it’ll be alright

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 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 ooo, 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 ooo, and it’ll be alright

Alright

We all need

A little shelter

We all need

A little shelter

Just a little helper

Oh lord, it’s 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 it’ll be alright
