Outside of A Small Circle Of Friends Phil Ochs
(Off the album "Pleasures of the Harbor")
Look outside my window, there's a woman being grabbed
Thay've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed.
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
Driving down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up, hanging off a cliff
Now maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain
But we're on the move and we might get sued and it looks like it's gonna rain
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor
The rats enjoy the babies who are sleeping on the floor
Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops
But they got too much already and besides, we've got the cops
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
There's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale
The Supreme Court was so upset they sent him off to jail
Maybe we should help the pain and take away his fine
But we're busy reading Playboy and the New York Times
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
Smokin marijuana is more fun than drinking beer
But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years
Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why
But demonstrations are a drag, besides, we're much too high
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
Look outside my window, there's a woman being grabbed
Thay've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed.
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody,
Outside of a small circle of friends
