Suffs the Musical - Fire & Tea Lyrics
The song is written by Shaina Taub.
MRS. HERNDON: (spoken)
Look alive inmates,
You're getting released
DOCTOR: (spoken)
Alice Paul is relentless,
But she's surely not insane
I see no cause to commit her
CARRIE: (spoken)
Alice Paul tortured in prison?
WILSON AIDE: (spoken)
Prison letters have leaked to the press
DORIS: (spoken)
I leaked the letters to the press
WOODROW WILSON: (spoken)
This is the first I'm hearing of this
WILSON AIDES: (spoken)
Sir!
WOODROW WILSON: (spoken)
You're both fired
ALICE: (spoken)
I'm sorry
RUZA: (spoken)
Shut up, Paul
It's time
We burn him down
CARRIE: (spoken)
Mollie, you came
MOLLIE: (spoken)
I'm only here for the cause
WOODROW WILSON: (spoken)
Ladies...
ENSEMBLE:
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
CARRIE:
Thank you for finally sharing a cup
Of tea with me
WOODROW WILSON:
That, Mrs. Catt,
Is what I love about you, so polite
CARRIE: (spoken)
Right
DORIS:
Oh God, are you about
To set that thing on fire?
ALICE & RUZA:
Don't you want to burn him too?
ENSEMBLE:
Want to burn him too?
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
WOODROW WILSON:
Dear, you must understand
My hands are full
With making peace in foreign lands
So let us discuss this
When there's less on my plate
It'll have to wait 'til next time
CARRIE: (spoken)
Now is the next time!
WOODROW WILSON: (spoken)
Pardon?
MOLLIE:
Here she goes
CARRIE:
Look outside your window
ENSEMBLE:
Rage
CARRIE:
They burn you in the street
ENSEMBLE:
On
CARRIE:
You can't keep locking them up
You know they'll just refuse to eat
WOODROW WILSON:
Calm down, Carrie,
There's no need to be angry
Angry girls with matches
Won't force my hand
CARRIE:
So shake my hand instead
WOODROW WILSON:
That's quite enough
Good day
CARRIE:
For I have always led
An organization of ladies
Of proper ladies
Who have made the proper plea
So use me
CARRIE & ENSEMBLE:
Give us the vote
CARRIE:
And you can credit my cooperation
CARRIE & ENSEMBLE:
Give us the vote
CARRIE:
And all those angry girls will
Go away
ENSEMBLE:
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
CARRIE:
So Woodrow
ENSEMBLE:
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
CARRIE:
What do you say?
ENSEMBLE:
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
Let the fire, let the fire,
Let the fire rage on
Rage on
Rage on
Rage on and on and on
Rage on and on and on
Rage on and on and on
Rage!
Rage!
Rage!
Let the fire rage!
