Abstract

Charmed is a song critiquing the Public School/ Oxbridge axis in government - tax breaks for the wealthy & indifference to poverty - currently shamelessly flaunting privilaged arrogance. Lyrics below: Gathering of privileged allies Champagne, cocaine, croquet on the lawn Harrow, Roedean, Oxbridge narcissists Charmed Sheltered by advantage and deceit Private school to redbrick psychopaths Plotting cuts and tax breaks for themselves Charmed Charmed lives Larger than life lives More important than the rest More important than the poor Ego above empathy or truth Think they’ll never have to pay a price Politics are just a game to those Charmed Charmed lives Larger than life lives More important than the rest More important than the poor Gathering of arrogant allies Way outside our lowly urban sprawl Everything is just a game to those Charmed Charmed lives
