"I know you hate him, but let's hear what he has to say"
"I've nowhere else to run"
"Talk less, smile more"
(Alexander Hamilton) [1]
(Alexander Hamilton) [2]
(Alexander Hamilton) [3]
(I wanna be in the room where it happens) [3]
(I wanna be in)
(Meanwhile) [1]
(Meanwhile) [2]
(Thomas claims) [1]
(Thomas claims) [2]
(Thomas claims) [3]
(Thomas claims) [4]
A quid pro quo
A system he can shape however he wants
Actually, I would
Ah, Mister Secretary
Alexander said
Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day
And all he had to do was die
And basically begged me to join the fray
And here's the pièce de résistance
And I wanted what I got
And Madison responds with Virginian insight
And no one else was in the room where it happened
And win a victory for the Southerners
And you'll provide him his votes?
But no one else is in the room where it happens [1]
But no one else is in the room where it happens [2]
But we don't get a say in what they trade away
But we dream in the dark for the most part
But we'll never really know what got discussed
But you don't get a win unless you play in the game
But! [2]
But- [1]
Cause we'll have the banks
Click-boom!
Click-boom, then it happened
Congress is fighting over where to put the capital-
Dark as a tomb where it happens
Decisions are happening over dinner
Diametrically opposed, foes
Did Washington know about the dinner?
Did ya hear the news about good old General Mercer?
Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor
God help and forgive me
Hamilton!
Having opened doors that were previously closed, bros
Hold your nose and close your eyes
How the sausage gets made
I (I wanna be in)
I (the room where it happens)
I approached Madison and said
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating
I guess I'm gonna finally have to listen to you
I suppose
I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
I wanna be in the room (the room where it happens)
I wanna be in the room where it happens [1]
I wanna be in the room where it happens [2]
I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me
I'm sorry Burr, I've gotta go
I've got to be (I wanna be in)
I've got to be (the room where it happens) [1]
I've got to be (the room where it happens) [2]
I've got to be (the room where it happens) [3]
I've got to be in
I've got to be in the room (the room where it happens)
I've got to be, I've gotta be, I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
If you stand for nothing, Burr (what do you want, Burr?)
In distress and disarray
In God, we trust
In other words
In that big ol' room (the room where it happens)
In the room! (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
It isn't pretty
Let's go
Madison is grappling with the fact that
Maybe we can solve one problem with another
Mister Burr, sir
My God!
No one else was in the room where it happened [1]
No one else was in the room where it happened [2]
No one else was in the room where it happened [3]
No one else was in the room where it happened [4]
No one else was in the room where it happened [5]
No one really knows how the game is played
No one really knows how the parties get to yes
No [1]
No! [2]
Not every issue can be settled by committee
Now how're you gonna get you debt plan through?
Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless
Oh (the room where it happens)
Oh, you get love for it
Oh-ho!
One else was it the room where it happened
Or did you know, even then, it doesn't matter where you put the U.S. Capital?
Really?
Sure
The art of the compromise
The art of the trade
The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power
The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
The renamed it after him, the Mercer legacy is secure
The room (the room where it happens
The room where it happened [10]
The room where it happened [11]
The room where it happened [12]
The room where it happened [1]
The room where it happened [2]
The room where it happened [3]
The room where it happened [4]
The room where it happened [5]
The room where it happened [6]
The room where it happened [7]
The room where it happened [8]
The room where it happened [9]
The room where it happens (the room where it happens)
The room where it happens [1]
The room where it happens [2]
The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital
Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite
Then what do you fall for? (What do you want?)
They emerge with a compromise
Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room
Wait for it, wait for it, wait!
Wanna be (the room where it happens)
Wanna be in (the room where it happens)
Was there presidential pressure to deliver?
We dream of a brand new start
We just assume that it happens [1]
We just assume that it happens [2]
We oughta give it a try (ha)
We want our leaders to save the day
We're in the same spot
Well, hate the sin, love the sinner
Well, I arranged the meeting
Well, I propose the Potomac
Well, we'll see how it goes
What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?
What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?) [1]
What do you want, Burr? (What do you want, Burr?) [2]
When you got skin in the game
Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?
Yeah
Yeah, that's a lot less work
You get hate for it
You get nothing if you
You got more than you gave
You know Clermont Street?
You stay in the game
Correct!
Incorrect
