(Boom!) I'll write to Congress and tell 'em we need supplies
(Chicka-boom!) I'll rise above my station, organize your information
(Here comes the General!) George Washington!
(Here comes the General!) Ladies and gentlemen!
(Here comes the General!) The moment you've been waiting for!
(Here comes the General!) The pride of Mount Vernon!
(What?) And his right-hand man!
Aaron Burr, sir
And boom, goes the cannon, we're abandonin' Kips Bay
And boom, there's another ship
And boom, we gotta run to Harlem quick, we can't afford another slip
And boom, we just lost the southern tip
And well, in summary
Any hope of success is fleeting
Are these the men with which I am to defend America?
As a kid in the Caribbean, I wished for a war
As I was saying, sir, I look forward to seeing your strategy play out
As you were
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) [1]
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) [2]
Ayo, I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry!
Boom!
British Admiral Howe's got troops
Burr?
But there's only one man who can give us a command, so we can rise up
Check it, can I be real a second?
Close the door on your way out
Don't get me wrong, you're a young man of great renown
Dying is easy, young man, living is harder
For just a millisecond
Guns and horses giddyup
Hamilton won't abandon ship, yo, let's steal their cannons
Hamilton, come in, have you met Burr?
Hamilton, how come no one can get you on their staff?
Have I done something wrong, sir?
Head full of fantasies of dying like a martyr?
Here comes the General [1]
Here comes the General [2]
Here comes the General [3]
Here comes the General [4]
Here he comes
How can I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating?
I admire how you keep firing on the British from a distance (huh)
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or rise up
I am not throwing away my shot! [1]
I am not throwing away my shot! [2]
I am not throwing away my shot! [3]
I called you here because our odds are beyond scary
I cannot be everywhere at once, people!
I decide to divvy up my forces
I have some friends, Laurens, Mulligan
I have some questions, a couple of suggestions
I knew it was the only way to rise up
I knew that I was poor
I know you stole British cannons when we were still downtown
I need someone like you to lighten the load, so?
I scream in the face of this mass mutiny
I think that I could be of some assistance
I was just like you when I was younger
I will fight for this land
I'm being honest
I'm in dire need of assistance
I'm working with a third of what our Congress has promised
If they tell my story
Incoming!
It's alright, you wanna fight, you've got a hunger
Knight takes rook, but look
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Let's take a stand with the stamina God has granted us
Marquis de Lafayette, okay, what else?
Nathaniel Green and Henry Knox wanted to hire you
Now why are you upset? I'm not
Now, I'm the model of a modern major general
On how to fight instead of fleeing west
On the contrary
Outmanned (what?) [1]
Outmanned (what?) [2]
Outnumbered, outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) [1]
Outnumbered, outplanned (buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) [2]
Outnumbered, outplanned!
Permission to state my case?
Rise up! (What?) [1]
Rise up! (What?) [2]
Rise up! (What?) [3]
Shh-boom, goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray, and
Sir! [3]
Sir, I was a captain under General Montgomery until he caught a bullet in the neck in Quebec
Sir? [1]
Sir? [2]
Some king's men who might let some things slide
Son, we are outgunned, outmanned
The elephant is in the room
The truth is in your face when you hear British cannons go boom!
The venerated Virginian veteran
They're battering down the battery, check the damages (rah!)
They're skittish as the British cut the city up
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbour
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbour (thirty-two thousand troops in New York Harbour)
This close to givin' up, facing mad scrutiny
Til we rise to the occasion of our new nation, sir!
Understand? It's the only way to rise up, rise up
We are a powder keg about to explode
We are outgunned (what?) [1]
We are outgunned (what?) [2]
We gotta make an all out stand [1]
We gotta make an all out stand [2]
We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages (rah!)
We need some spies on the inside
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn
We ride at midnight, Manhattan in the distance
Well-
When they surround our troops, (they surround our troops) [2]
When they surround our troops, they surround our troops [1]
Who are you?
Whose men are all lining up, to put me on a pedestal
Why are you telling me this?
Writin' letters to relatives, embellishin' my elegance and eloquence, but
Yeah, to be their Secretary? I don't think so
Yes [2]
Yes, sir, we keep meeting
Yes? [1]
You need all the help you can get
You rally the guys, master the element of surprise
Your Excellency, sir!
Your Excellency, you wanted to see me?
Your reputation precedes you, but I have to laugh
