(He will never be satisfied, satisfied)
A series of essays, anonymously published
A-after the war, I went back to New York
Aaron Burr, sir
After the war, I went back to New York
Alexander Hamilton began to climb
Alexander joins forces with James Madison
Alexander [2]
Alexander [3]
Alexander? [1]
Along in harmony, and nowhere is it stronger that in Albany
And if it fails?
And if your wife could share a fraction of your time
And John Jay to write a series of essays
And what if you're backing the wrong horse?
Angelica
Are you aware that we're making history?
Are you running out of time? (Aww!)
Bright young man
Burr, that's why we need it
Burr, we studied, and we foughtm and we killed
Burr, you're a better lawyer than me
Call your first witness, that's all you had to say
Can we confer, sir?
Co-counsel Hamilton, sit down
Corruption's such an old song that we can sing
Defending the document to the public
Defending the new United States Constitution
Do what you do
Do you support this Constitution?
Don't forget to write
Entitled "The Federalist Papers"
Even though we started at the very same time
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time (hey)
Every day, you fight like it's going out of style
Every proclamation guarantees
Every second you're alive? Every second you're alive?
For once in your life, take a stand with pride
For the notion of a nation, we now get to build
Free ammunition for your enemies (aw!)
Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me
Goes and proposes his own form of government (what?)
Good night
Hamilton wrote the other 51
Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention
Hamilton, just you wait
He is not a lot of fun, but there's no one
He will never be satisfied (what would be enough?)
Hear me out
Helpless
Hey!
His own plan for a new form of government (what?)
History has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you (look around)
Honestly, that's why public service seems to be calling me (he's just non-stop)
How do you write every second you're alive?
How do you write like tommorow won't arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write like you're running out of time?
How to account for his rise to the top?
I am accompanied by someone who always pays
I am Alexander Hamilton
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot (just you wait) [1]
I am not throwin' away my shot (just you wait) [2]
I am sailing off the London
I disagree
I don't understand how you stand to the side
I finished up my studies, and I practiced law
I have found a wealthy husband who will keep in comfort for all my days
I have to leave
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt with my assistant counsel
I know I talk to much, I'm abrasive
I know it's a lot to ask (Treasury or State?)
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
I practiced the law, I practically perfected it
I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention
I'll keep all my plans close to my chest (wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait)
I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow
I'm asking you to be my right-hand man (Treasury or state?)
I'm doing the best I can
I'm taking my time, watching the afterbirth of a nation
I've seen injustice in the world, and I've corrected it
If I could grant you peace of mind
If not, then I'll be Socrates
In the end, they wrote 85 essays in the span of six months
Is this a legal matter?
It's full of contradictions
James Madison wrote 29
John Jay got sick after writing five
Just stay alive, that would be enough
Keep on fighting in the meantime (non-stop)
Let's go
Like you're running out of time
Look around, isn't this enough?
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
Man, the man is non-stop
My Alexander
My client needs a strong defense, you're the solution
No
No one will read it
No way!
No, no way
Now for a strong central democracy
Now, what I'm going to say may sound indelicate (aww!)
Of course
Okay [1]
Okay [2]
One more thing
Our client, Levi Weeks, is innocent
Satisfied, satisfied
Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State department?
So is independence
So, it needs amendments
Soon that attitude may be your doom (aw!)
Talks for six hours, the convention is listless
The Constitution's a mess
The fact that you're alive is a miracle
The liberty behind deliberation (non-stop)
The new U.S. Constitution?
The plan was to write a total of 25 essays
The work divided evenly among the three men
Then defend it
There as a New York junior delegate
They are asking me to lead
They're asking me to lead
This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities
To get the people that I need
To leave behind the world you know
Treasury
Watching the tension grow
We have to start somewhere
We will never be satisfied (to be satisfied?)
We won the war, what was it all for?
Well, it's the middle of the night
What are you waiting for?
What do you need?
What do you stall for? (What?)
Who can match you for turn of phrase
Who's your client?
Why do you always say what you believe? [1]
Why do you always say what you believe? [2]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (History has its eyes)
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (Non-stop) [1]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? (Non-stop) [2]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? [1]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? [2]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? [3]
Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? [4]
Why do you fight like
Why do you write like it's going out of style? (Hey)
Why do you write like you're running out of time?
Why do you write like you're running out of time? (Non-stop)
Would that be enough?
Write day and night like it's going out of style? (Hey)
Write day and night like you're running out of time? [1]
Write day and night like you're running out of time? [2]
Yes, and it's important to me
Yo, who the f is this?
You're incredible in court
You're making a mistake
You're succinct, persuasive
