CLook outside the wDindow, there's a wComan being gDrabbed.
They drCagged her to the buEmshes, and now she's being staGbbed.
EMaybe we should call the cops and Amtry to stop the pain.
But MoFnopoly is Amso much fun, I'd hDmate to blow the gaGme,
And I'm sCure it wouldn't iAmnterest EbanybodyCm  
outside of a small circle of fFriends.
Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff.
Thirteen cars have 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 ...
Sweating in the ghetto with the 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 ...
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 ...
Smoking Marijuana is more fun than drinking beer,
But a friend of ours was captured; and they gave gim 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 ....
Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed.
They 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 ...

outside of a small circle of friends.

Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff.

Thirteen cars have 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 ...

Sweating in the ghetto with the 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 ...
