Lyric Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends
C D C D
Look outside the window, there s a woman being grabbed
C Em F G
They ve dragged her to the bushes and now she s being stabbed
E Am
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
F Am Dm G
But Monopoly is so much fun, I d hate to blow the game
C Am Eb
And I m sure it wouldn t interest anybody
Cm F
Outside of a small circle of friends.
Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up, they re hanging on a cliff.
Maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain
But we gotta 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/Panthers) and the poor
The rats have joined 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 got the cops
And 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 jail.
Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine. (*)
But we re busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times
And I m sure it wouldn t interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Smoking marihuana 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
Oh look outside the window, there s a woman being grabbed
They 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
[ Additional verse, 1974 ]
Down in Santiago where they took away our mines
We cut off all their money so they robbed the storehouse blind
Now maybe we should ask some questions, maybe shed a tear
But I bet you a copper penny, it cannot happen here
And I m sure it wouldn t interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Look outside the window, there s a woman being grabbed
