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 |
