For some it's the doctor, for me it's rock 'n' roll  
    G5                         B5 
For some it's the bottle, for some it's the pill  
     C5                               G5 
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  
       A5                               D5 
If you live in a glass house, don't go throwin' rocks at me 
  

       C5             G5                     A5                D5 
We all need a little shelter just a little helper to get us by  
       C5             G5                     A5      D5                    G5

G5 
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie  
    D5 
But when the doors are closed there ain't nothin' he won't try

Tipper led the war against the music industry  
    C5                             G5 
She said she saw the devil on the MTV  
   C5                        G5 
To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key  
A5                           D5 
Just like Jimmy's skeletons and his ministry

G5                             B5 
For some it's the needle, for some it's the kill  
     C5                               G5 
Some people wave the bible 'cuz it's giving them a thrill  
C5                        G5 
You can spend your money before you get your pay  
A5                               D5 
With a toss of the dice you can piss it all away
