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
