The Power of Privilege Lyrics
Madam Lambsbury: I’ve heard it said
With great privilege comes great power
This is true
But life here is no easy thing, you see
Okay?
You probably think
We while away the days
Throwing balls behind our walls
We do!
But a privilege is a burden, actually
Horse: But even walls as high as yours
Won’t keep the fighting from your door
You guys are horses
Do your job and join the war
Ched: All right, you’re wasting your time.
Well, you can keep your seven courses
With your fancy hats and corsets
Crinoline attire and powdered wigs
Madam Lambsbury: Quite bold of you
Ched: In minutes, Minotaurs will mangle
All this gilded dingle-dangle
Roast you on a pit fire like a pig
Horse: Ched!
Ched: What, Horse?
Horse: We came here for their help
And now you’re only thinking of yourself
Ched: Ah, let ’em have
Their balls behind the walls
These weird tulip dances
The endless clitter-clatter
Of all these stupid champagne glasses
The dinner pitter-patter
Cocktail dress table manners
Country-club croquet disaster
I hope the Minotaurs
Come and kick your--
Madam Lambsbury: But alas
Look at the time
Such a lovely song
Now I hope you run along
It’s truly been my privilege
