Outside of a Small Circle of Friends - Phil Ochs Song Lyrics


Oh, look outside the window
There's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes
And now she's being stabbedMaybe we should call the cops
And try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun
I'd hate to blow the gameAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friendsRidin' down the highway
Yes, my back is gettin' stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up
They're hangin' on a cliff
Now maybe we should pull them back
With our towin' chain
But we gotta move and we might get sued
And it looks like it's gonna rainAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friendsSweatin' in the ghetto
With the colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies
Who are sleepin' on the floorNow wouldn't it be a riot
If they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already
And besides we've got the copsAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Oh, there's a dirty paper
Using sex to make a sale
The Supreme Court was so upset
They sent him off to jailMaybe we should help the fiend
And take away his fine
But we're busy reading Playboy
And the Sunday New York TimesAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friendsSmokin' marihuana
Is more fun than drinkin' beer
But a friend of ours was captured
And they gave him thirty yearsMaybe we should raise our voices
Ask somebody why
But demonstrations are a drag
Besides we're much too highAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friendsOh, look outside the window
There's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes
And now she's being stabbedMaybe we should call the cops
And try to stop the pain
But Monopoly is so much fun
I'd hate to blow the gameAnd I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
