Phil Ochs - Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends Lyrics
Pre>c d c dLook outside the window, theres a woman being grabbedC em f gTheyve dragged her to the bushes and now shes being stabbedE amMaybe we should call the cops and try to stop the painF am dm gBut monopoly is so much fun, Id hate to blow the gameC am ebAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyCm fOutside of a small circle of friends.Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiffThirteen cars are piled up, theyre hanging on a cliff.Maybe we should pull them back with our towing chainBut we gotta move and we might get sued and it looks like its gonna rainAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friends.Sweating in the ghetto with the (colored/panthers) and the poorThe rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floorNow wouldnt it be a riot if they really blew their tops?But they got too much already and besides we got the copsAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friends.Oh theres a dirty paper using sex to make a saleThe supreme court was so upset, they sent him off to jail.Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine. (*)But were busy reading playboy and the sunday new york timesAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friendsSmoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer,But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty yearsMaybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody whyBut demonstrations are a drag, besides were much too highAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friendsOh look outside the window, theres a woman being grabbedTheyve dragged her to the bushes and now shes being stabbedMaybe we should call the cops and try to stop the painBut monopoly is so much fun, Id hate to blow the gameAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friends[ additional verse, 1974 ]Down in santiago where they took away our minesWe cut off all their money so they robbed the storehouse blindNow maybe we should ask some questions, maybe shed a tearBut I bet you a copper penny, it cannot happen hereAnd Im sure it wouldnt interest anybodyOutside of a small circle of friends/pre>
