Look outside the window, theres a woman being grabbed
C em f g
Theyve dragged her to the bushes and now shes 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, Id hate to blow the game
C am eb
And Im sure it wouldnt interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends.
Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff
Thirteen cars are piled up, theyre 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 its gonna rain
And Im sure it wouldnt 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 wouldnt it be a riot if they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already and besides we got the cops
And Im sure it wouldnt interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends.
Oh theres 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 were busy reading playboy and the sunday new york times
And Im sure it wouldnt 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 were much too high
And Im sure it wouldnt interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Oh look outside the window, theres a woman being grabbed
Theyve dragged her to the bushes and now shes being stabbed
Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain
But monopoly is so much fun, Id hate to blow the game
And Im sure it wouldnt 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 Im sure it wouldnt interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
