Various Artists Shelter Me lyrics

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, ooh 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, ooh and it'll be alright, hit it now

And 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 could 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, ooh and it'll be alright

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh and it'll be alright
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh and it'll be alright

We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh and it'll be alright
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper, ooh and it'll be alright
