GEverybody needs a little place they can hide
SomeDwhere to call their own, don't let nobody inside
CEvery now and then we all Gneed to let go
For Dsome it's the doctor, for me it's rock and roll
For Gsome it's a bottle, for B7some it's a pill
Some Cpeople wave the bible cause it's Ggiving them a thrill
COthers point their finger if they Gdon't like what they see
If you Alive in a glass house, don't be Dthrowing rocks at me
[Chorus]
We all Cneed a little Gshelter
Just a little Ahelper to get us Dby
We all Cneed a little Gshelter
Just a little Ahelper Dooh, and it'll be alGright
[Verse]
GCheck out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
But Dwhen the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try
CMeanwhile Mr. Medicine's Gtreating his best friend's wDife
GTipper led the war against the B7record industry
She Csaid she saw the devil on her GMTV
To Clook into the cabinet, it Gtakes more than a key
AJust like Jimmy's skeletons Dand his ministry
[Chorus]
We all Cneed a little Gshelter
Just a little Ahelper to get us Dby
We all Cneed a little Gshelter
Just a little Ahelper Dooh, and it'll be alGright
