Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends - Live

Lyrics

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
 Ridin' 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 rain
 And I'm sure
 It wouldn't interest anybody
 Outside of a small circle of friends
 Sweatin' in the ghetto
 With the colored and the poor
 The rats have joined the babies
 Who are sleepin' 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've 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
 Smokin' marihuana
 Is more fun than drinkin' 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
