Mrs. Herndon:
Look alive, inmates
You're getting released
——————————————
Doctor White:
Alice Paul is relentless
But she's surely not insane
I see no cause to commit her
——————————————
Carrie/ Major Sylvester/ Doris:
“Alice Paul Tortured in Prison”
Prison letters have leaked to the press
I leaked the letters to the press!
——————————————
Wilson/Doctor White & Major Sylvester:
This is the first I'm hearing of this
Sir?!
You're both fired
——————————————
Alice/Ruza:
I'm sorry
Shut up, Paul
It's time
We burn him down
——————————————
Carrie/Mollie/Wilson:
Mollie, you came
I'm only here for the cause
Ladies
-------------------
Alice & NWP Suffs:
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. Catt, is what I love about you, so polite
Ha ha ha
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
(Rage!)
They burn you in the street
(On!)
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 (Ha!)
of proper ladies (Ha!)
Who have made the proper plea (Ha ah)
So, use me
Give us the vote (Give us the vote!)
And you can credit my cooperation
Give us the vote (Give us the vote!)
And all those angry girls will go—away———
(Let the fire Let the fire Let the fire rage on)
So Woodrow———
(Let the fire Let the fire Let the fire rage on)
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
Rage On and On and On
Rage On and On and On
Rage!
Rage!
Rage!
Let The Fire Rage!
