OUTSIDE OF A SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS (Phil Ochs)
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.
The first verse is a commentary on the murder of Kitty Genovese. She was murdered March 14th, 1964 in NYC, while 38 neighbors looked on without either helping or calling for the police.
