Lyrics of a song Phil Ochs - 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
