Outside of a Small Circle of Friends

[Verse 1]
Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes, now she's being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops, 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

[Verse 2]
Riding down the highway, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars have piled up, they're hanging off 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

[Verse 3]
Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor
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

[Verse 4]
There's a dirty paper using sex to make her sale
The Supreme Court got so upset they sent her off to jail
Maybe we should help the fiend, 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

[Verse 5]
Smoking 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
I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends

[Verse 6]
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
I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
