Philip David Ochs (December 19, 1940–April 9, 1976) was a U.S. protest singer (or, as he preferred, a "topical singer"), songwriter, musician, journalist and recording artist who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and haunting voice. He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and released eight LP record albums in his lifetime.   Wikipedia


Lyrics Phil Ochs - Outside of a Small Circle of Friends Click to view  



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.

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 (coloredpanthers) 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
