Swing and a miss Tania322. This is an indictment of the upper class, specifically in England where she spent time growing up. "Hitting a 6" is a cricket term. "Ra ra" is a term for the bourgeoisie England upper class men who claim to have some link to the royal family. "I don't be running at all / I got my own goal." This is like her Terminal Preppy (see Dead Kennedys). This fits with her socialist mentality. Please don't make her support of Palestinians' rights seem ridiculous by claiming that she's writing songs from the perspective of suicide bombers. Even if that wasn't the intent, it's what comes off after MTV does something stupid like ban her and make her seem like a terrorist sympathizer.
