Original Broadway Cast of Suffs - Fire & Tea Lyrics



Original Broadway Cast of Suffs - Fire & Tea Lyrics




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.
Molly, 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, Mrs. Cat, 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? Want to burn.
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 till next time.
Now is the next time, pardon.
Here she goes, look outside your window.
They burn you in the street.
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.

Do you?
The fire, the fire rage on.
The fire, the fire, the fire rage on.
Rage on and on and rage on and on and rage on and on and rage, rage, rage.
Let the fire.
