Which Wire?

Cut the white wire I say through the walkie-talkie The signal is unsteady And my voice sounds garbled. What was that I can’t hear you The signal isn’t coming through. I said cut the white wire Only the white wire Our situation is dire Please cut the white wire. Im trying to cut the right wire But it is ever so important That I know the color of the wire. The white wire Never the red wire I call out once more Unable to wait anymore. Okay! I’ve cut the wire Now we’re fine Am I right? That’s great I say with relief Only to look at the screen And see the timer going at full speed. Which wire did you cut? I ask with impatience. For now we have less time Than we did at the beginning. The red wire of course For you said the right wire Was the red wire It’s always the red wire! I sigh It looks like we’re all going to die.
