Look outside the window there’s a woman being grabbed
and he’s dragged her in 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 funr I’d hate to spoil the game
and it really wouldn’t interest anybody
outside of a small circle of friends
Actually we and almost everyone we know would have grabbed a gun and held the guy for the police. Unless of course he also had a gun, then we would have had to defend ourselves.
The XTC song “Wake Up” immediately came to mind:
In the road a crowd had gathered
And a man was close to dead
The blood is running down the gutter
While you’re yawning, nothing’s said
His body’s wriggling like an eel
They got no sense, no touch, no feel
Somebody better go and get a blanket
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
