Outside a Small Circle of Friends

[Verse 1]
Look outside the window, there's a woman bein' grabbed
They dragged her to the bushes, and now she's bein' 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

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

[Verse 2]
Ridin' down the highway, yeah, my back is gettin' stiff
Thirteen cars have piled up, they're hangin' off a cliff
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

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

[Verse 3]
Sweating in the ghetto with the many-colored poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleepin' on the floor
Wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already, and besides we got the cops

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

[Verse 4]
Now, 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

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

[Verse 5]
Smokin' marijuana is more fun than drinkin' beer
But a friend of mine got captured, and they gave him twenty years
Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why
Demonstrations are a drag and besides we're much too high

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

[Verse 1]
Mmm, look outside your window, there's a woman bein' grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes, and now she's bein' 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

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