Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed

They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed

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 (colored/Panthers) 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 of friends
Oh 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
[ 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 she'd a tear
But I bet you a copper penny, it cannot happen here
And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
Phil Ochs (1940-1976) è stato un cantautore americano noto per le sue canzoni di protesta politica e sociale. Nato Philip David Ochs a El Paso, Texas, ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale negli anni '50, influenzato da artisti come Woody Guthrie e Pete Seeger. Ochs si distinse per il suo impegno civile e la sua capacità di trasformare eventi politici in testi incisivi e musicalmente coinvolgenti. Le sue canzoni affrontavano temi come la guerra del Vietnam, la disuguaglianza sociale e i diritti civili, guadagnandosi l'appellativo di "topical singer", un termine che lui stesso preferiva a quello di cantautore di protesta. Tra le sue canzoni più famose ricordiamo "Draft Dodger Rag", "I Ain't Marching Anymore" e "Here's to the State of Mississippi". Ochs ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui "Phil Ochs Sings", "Gun of Love" e "Pleasures of the Harbor", che hanno contribuito a consolidare la sua posizione come uno dei cantautori di protesta più influenti degli anni '60. La sua musica ha ispirato generazioni di artisti e continua ad essere ascoltata oggi per il suo messaggio di giustizia sociale e la sua potenza evocativa.
