Fire & Tea Songtext
von Shaina Taub

Look alive, inmates - you′re getting released
Alice Paul is relentless, but she's surely not insane
I see no cause to commit her
"Alice Paul tortured in prison"?
Prison letters have leaked to the press
I leaked the letters to the press!

This is the first I′m hearing of this
Sir?
You're both fired

I'm sorry
Shut up, Paul
It′s time
We burn him down
Mollie, you came
I′m only here for the cause
Ladies

Let the fire, let the fire, let the fire rage on
Let the fire, let the fire, let the fire rage on


Thank you for finally sharing a cup of tea with me
That - Missus Catt - is what I love about you - so polite
Right
Oh god, are you about to set that thing on fire?
Don't you want to burn him too?
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

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 (ah!)
Now is the next time
Pardon?
Here she goes

Look outside your window (burn)
They burn you in the street (gone)
You can't keep locking them up, you know they′ll just refuse to eat
Calm down, Carrie, there's no need to be angry
Angry girls with matches won't force my hand


So shake my hand instead
That′s quite enough, good day
For I have always led an organization of ladies
Of proper ladies
Who have made the proper plea
So use me

Give us the vote
And you can credit my cooperation
Give us the vote
And all those angry girls will go away

Let the fire, let the fire, let the fire rage on
Let the fire, let the fire, let the fire rage on
So, Woodrow
What do you say?
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 (let the fire rage!)
Rage on and on and on (let the fire rage!)
Rage on and on and on (let the fire rage!)
Rage! Rage! Rage!
Let the fire rage!
