Phil Ochs', "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends"
The Lyrics:
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.
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.
Why:
This is a chipper little ragtime-style tune based on the Kitty Genovese attack a Kew Gardens Station. More creepy than depressing, but certainly not as upbeat as the song sounds.
