I had to take some repetitive lyrics out, to stick to the answer limit of 10'000 words. For the same reason some "yeah"s and "whoa"s aren't mentioned.

Lyrics
Alexander Hamilton
How
does
a
bastard,
orphan,
son
of
a
whore
And
a
Scotsman,
dropped
in
the
middle
of
a
forgotten
Spot
in
the
Caribbean
by
providence,
impoverished,
in
squalor
Grow
up
to
be
a
hero
and
a
scholar?
The
ten-dollar
Founding
Father
without
a
father
Got
a
lot
farther
by
working
a
lot
harder
By
being
a
lot
smarter,
by
being
a
self-starter
By
14,
they
placed
him
in
charge
of
a
trading
charter
And
every
day
while
slaves
were
being
slaughtered
and
carted
Away
across
the
waves,
he
struggled
and
kept
his
guard
up
Inside,
he
was
longing
for
something
to
be
a
part
of
The
brother
was
ready
to
beg,
steal,
borrow,
or
barter
Then
a
hurricane
came,
and
devastation
reigned
Our
man
saw
his
future
drip,
dripping
down
the
drain
Put
a
pencil
to
his
temple,
connected
it
to
his
brain
And
he
wrote
his
first
refrain,
a
testament
to
his
pain
Well,
the
word
got
around,
they
said,
"This
kid
is
insane,
man"
Took
up
a
collection
just
to
send
him
to
the
mainland
"Get
your
education,
don′t
forget
from
whence
you
came,
and
The
world's
gonna
know
your
name,
what′s
your
name,
man?"
Alexander
Hamilton
My
name
is
Alexander
Hamilton
And
there's
a
million
things
I
haven't
done
But
just
you
wait,
just
you
wait
When
he
was
ten,
his
father
split,
full
of
it,
debt-ridden
Two
years
later,
see
Alex
and
his
mother
bed-ridden
Half-dead,
sittin′
in
their
own
sick,
the
scent
thick
And
Alex
got
better
but
his
mother
went
quick
Moved
in
with
a
cousin,
the
cousin
committed
suicide
Left
him
with
nothin′
but
ruined
pride,
something
new
inside
A
voice
saying,
Alex,
you
gotta
fend
for
yourself
He
started
retreatin'
and
readin′
every
treatise
on
the
shelf
There
would
have
been
nothin'
left
to
do
For
someone
less
astute
He
woulda
been
dead
or
destitute
Without
a
cent
of
restitution
Started
workin′,
clerkin'
for
his
late
mother′s
landlord
Tradin'
sugar
cane
and
rum
and
all
the
things
he
can't
afford
Scammin′
for
every
book
he
can
get
his
hands
on
Plannin′
for
the
future,
see
him
now
as
he
stands
on
The
bow
of
a
ship
headed
for
a
new
land
In
New
York,
you
can
be
a
new
man
(In
New
York,
you
can
be
a
new
man)
Just
you
wait!
(In
New
York,
you
can
be
a
new
man)
Just
you
wait!
In
New
York,
you
can
be
a
new
man
In
New
York!
Just
you
wait!
Alexander
Hamilton
We
are
waiting
in
the
wings
for
you
(waiting
in
the
wings
for
you)
You
could
never
back
down
You
never
learned
to
take
your
time!
Oh,
Alexander
Hamilton
When
America
sings
for
you
Will
they
know
what
you
overcame?
Will
they
know
you
rewrote
the
game?
The
world
will
never
be
the
same,
oh
The
ship
is
in
the
harbor
now
See
if
you
can
spot
him
Another
immigrant
Comin'
up
from
the
bottom
His
enemies
destroyed
his
rep
America
forgot
him
We
fought
with
him
Me?
I
died
for
him
Me?
I
trusted
him
Me?
I
loved
him
And
me?
I′m
the
damn
fool
that
shot
him
There's
a
million
things
I
haven′t
done
But
just
you
wait!
What's
your
name,
man?
Alexander
Hamilton!
Aaron Burr, Sir
1776
New
York
City
Pardon
me.
Are
you
Aaron
Burr,
sir?
That
depends.
Who′s
asking?
Oh,
well,
sure,
sir
I'm
Alexander
Hamilton,
I′m
at
your
service,
sir
I
have
been
looking
for
you
I'm
getting
nervous
Sir...
I
heard
your
name
at
Princeton.
I
was
seeking
an
accelerated
course
of
study
When
I
got
sort
of
out
of
sorts
with
a
buddy
of
yours.
I
may
have
punched
him.
It's
a
blur,
sir.
He
handles
the
financials?
You
punched
the
bursar
Yes!
I
wanted
to
do
what
you
did.
Graduate
in
two,
then
join
the
revolution.
He
looked
at
me
like
I
was
stupid,
I′m
not
stupid
So
how′d
you
do
it?
How'd
you
graduate
so
fast?
It
was
my
parents′
dying
wish
before
they
passed
You're
an
orphan.
Of
course!
I′m
an
orphan
God,
I
wish
there
was
a
war
Then
we
could
prove
that
we're
worth
more
than
anyone
bargained
for
Can
I
buy
you
a
drink?
That
would
be
nice
While
we′re
talking
Let
me
offer
you
some
free
advice
Talk
less
What?
Smile
more
Ha
Don't
let
them
know
what
you're
against
or
what
you′re
for
You
can′t
be
serious
You
wanna
get
ahead?
Yes
Fools
who
run
their
mouths
off
wind
up
dead
What
time
is
it?
Showtime!
Like
I
said...
Showtime!
Showtime!
Yo!
I'm
John
Laurens
in
the
place
to
be!
Two
pints
o′
Sam
Adams,
but
I'm
workin′
on
three!
Those
redcoats
don't
want
it
with
me
′Cause
I
will
pop
chick-a
pop
these
cops
till
I'm
free!
Ouioui
mon
ami,
je
m'appelle
Lafayette!
The
Lancelot
of
the
revolutionary
set!
I
came
from
afar
just
to
say
"Bonsoir!"
Tell
the
King
"Casse-toi"
Who′s
the
best?
C′est
moi!
Brrrah,
brraaah!
I
am
Hercules
Mulligan
Up
in
it,
lovin'
it,
yes
I
heard
ya
mother
said
"Come
again?"
Lock
up
ya
daughters
and
horses,
of
course
It′s
hard
to
have
intercourse
over
four
sets
of
corsets
No
more
sex,
pour
me
another
brew,
son!
Let's
raise
a
couple
more...
To
the
revolution!
Well,
if
it
ain′t
the
prodigy
of
Princeton
college!
Aaron
Burr!
Give
us
a
verse,
drop
some
knowledge!
Good
luck
with
that:
you're
takin′
a
stand
You
spit.
I'm
'a
sit.
We′ll
see
where
we
land
Burr,
the
revolution′s
imminent.
What
do
you
stall
for?
If
you
stand
for
nothing,
Burr,
what'll
you
fall
for?
Who
you?
Who
you?
Who
are
you?
who
is
this
kid?
What′s
he
gonna
do?
My Shot
I
am
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
Hey
yo,
I′m
just
like
my
country
I'm
young,
scrappy
and
hungry
And
I'm
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
I′ma
get
a
scholarship
to
King's
College
I
prob′ly
shouldn't
brag,
but
Lyrics
dang,
I
amaze
and
astonish
The
problem
is
I
got
a
lot
of
brains
but
no
polish
I
gotta
holler
just
to
be
heard
With
every
word,
I
drop
knowledge
I′m
a
diamond
in
the
rough,
a
shiny
piece
of
coal
Tryin'
to
reach
my
goal,
my
power
of
speech,
unimpeachable
Only
nineteen,
but
my
mind
is
older
These
New
York
City
streets
get
colder,
I
shoulder
Ev′ry
burden,
ev'ry
disadvantage,
I've
learned
to
manage
I
don′t
have
a
gun
to
brandish,
I
walk
these
streets
famished
The
plan
is
to
fan
this
spark
into
a
flame
But
damn,
it′s
gettin'
dark,
so
let
me
spell
out
the
name
I
am
the
A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R
We
are
meant
to
be
A
colony
that
runs
independently
Meanwhile,
Britain
keeps
shittin′
on
us
endlessly
Essentially,
they
tax
us
relentlessly
Then
King
George
turns
around,
runs
a
spendin'
spree
He
ain′t
ever
gonna
set
his
descendants
free
So
there
will
be
a
revolution
in
this
century
Enter
me
(He
says
in
parentheses)
Don't
be
shocked
when
your
hist′ry
book
mentions
me
I
will
lay
down
my
life
if
it
sets
us
free
Eventually,
you'll
see
my
ascendancy
And
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
I
am
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
Hey
yo,
I′m
just
like
my
country
I'm
young,
scrappy
and
hungry
And
I′m
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
I
am
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
Hey
yo,
I′m
just
like
my
country
I'm
young,
scrappy
and
hungry
And
I'm
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
It′s
time
to
take
a
shot
I
dream
of
life
without
the
monarchy
The
unrest
in
France
will
lead
to
'onarchy
′Onarchy?
How
you
say,
how
you
Oh!
Anarchy?
When
I
fight,
I
make
the
other
side
panicky
With
my
(shot)
Yo,
I'm
a
tailor′s
apprentice
And
I
got
y'all
knuckleheads
in
loco
parentis
I′m
joinin'
the
rebellion
'cause
I
know
it′s
my
chance
To
socially
advance,
instead
of
sewin′
some
pants
I'm
gonna
take
a
(shot)
But
we′ll
never
be
truly
free
Until
those
in
bondage
have
the
same
rights
as
you
and
me
You
and
I,
do
or
die,
wait
′til
I
sally
in
on
a
stallion
WIth
the
first
black
battalion
Have
another
(shot)
Geniuses,
lower
your
voices
You
keep
out
of
trouble,
and
you
double
your
choices
I'm
with
you,
but
the
situation
is
fraught
You′ve
got
to
be
carefully
taught
If
you
talk,
you're
gonna
get
shot
Burr,
check
what
we
got
Mister
Lafayette,
hard
rock
like
Lancelot
I
think
your
pants
look
hot
Laurens,
I
like
you
a
lot
Let's
hatch
a
plot
blacker
than
the
kettle
callin′
the
pot
What
are
the
odds
the
gods
would
put
us
all
in
one
spot?
Poppin′
a
squat
on
conventional
wisdom,
like
it
or
not
A
bunch
of
revolutionary,
manumission
abolitionists?
Give
me
a
position,
show
me
where
the
ammunition
is
am
I
talkin'
too
loud?
Sometimes
I
get
over-excited,
shoot
off
at
the
mouth
I
never
had
a
group
of
friends
before
I
promise
that
I′ll
make
y'all
proud
Let′s
get
this
guy
in
front
of
a
crowd
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
Hey
yo,
I'm
just
like
my
country
I'm
young,
scrappy
and
hungry
And
I′m
not
throwin′
away
my
shot
Ev'rybody
sing
I
say,
let
'em
hear
ya
Let′s
go!
I
said
shout
it
to
the
rooftops
Said,
to
the
rooftops
Come
on!
Come
on,
let′s
go!
Rise
up
When
you're
livin′
on
your
knees,
you
rise
up
Tell
your
brother
that
he's
gotta
rise
up
Tell
your
sister
that
she′s
gotta
rise
up
When
are
these
colonies
gonna
rise
up?
When
are
these
colonies
gonna
rise
up?
When
are
these
colonies
gonna
rise
up?
Rise
up
I
imagine
death
so
much
it
feels
more
like
a
memory
When's
it
gonna
get
me?
In
my
sleep?
Seven
feet
ahead
of
me?
If
I
see
it
comin′,
do
I
run
or
do
I
let
it
be?
Is
it
like
a
beat
without
a
melody?
See,
I
never
thought
I'd
live
past
twenty
Where
I
come
from,
some
get
half
as
many
Ask
anybody
why
we
livin'
fast,
and
we
laugh,
reach
for
a
flask
We
have
to
make
this
moment
last,
that′s
plenty
Scratch
that
This
is
not
a
moment,
it′s
the
movement
Where
all
the
hungriest
brothers
with
Somethin'
to
prove
went?
Foes
oppose
us,
we
take
an
honest
stand
We
roll
like
Moses,
claimin′
our
promised
land
And
if
we
win
our
independence
Is
that
a
guarantee
of
freedom
for
our
descendants?
Or
will
the
blood
we
shed
begin
an
endless
Cycle
of
vengeance
and
death
with
no
defendants?
I
know
the
action
in
the
street
is
excitin'
But
Jesus,
between
all
the
bleedin′
'nd
fightin′
I've
been
readin'
′n
writin′
We
need
to
handle
our
financial
situation
Are
we
a
nation
of
states?
What's
the
state
of
our
nation?
I′m
past
patiently
waitin',
I′m
passionately
Smashin'
every
expectation
Every
action′s
an
act
of
creation!
I'm
laughin'
in
the
face
of
casualties
and
sorrow
For
the
first
time,
I′m
thinkin′
past
tomorrow
And
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot
We're
gonna
rise
up
time
to
take
a
shot
not
throwin′
away
my
Not
throwin'
away
my
shot!
The Story of Tonight
I

Schuyler
There′s
nothing
rich
folks
love
more
Than
going
downtown
and
slummin'
it
with
the
poor
They
pull
up
in
their
carriages
and
gawk
At
the
students
in
the
common
Just
to
watch
them
talk
Take
Philip
Schuyler:
the
man
is
loaded
Uh-oh,
but
little
does
he
know
that
His
daughters,
Peggy,
Angelica,
Eliza
Sneak
into
the
city
just
to
watch
all
the
guys
at
Work,
Angelica!
Work,
work!
Eliza!
And
Peggy!
The
Schuyler
sisters!
Angelica!
Peggy!
Eliza!
Work!
Daddy
said
to
be
home
by
sundown
Daddy
doesn′t
need
to
know
Daddy
said
not
to
go
downtown
Like
I
said,
you're
free
to
go
But–look
around,
look
around,
the
Revolution's
happening
in
New
York
Angelica!
Work!
It′s
bad
enough
daddy
wants
to
go
to
war
People
shouting
in
the
square
It′s
bad
enough
there'll
be
violence
on
our
shore
New
ideas
in
the
air
Look
around,
look
around
Angelica,
remind
me
what
we′re
looking
for
She's
lookin′
for
me!
Eliza,
I'm
lookin′
for
a
mind
at
work.
I'm
lookin
for
a
mind
at
work!
(Work,
work!)
I'm
lookin
for
a
mind
at
work!
There′s
nothin′
like
summer
in
the
city
Someone
in
a
rush
next
to
someone
lookin'
pretty
Excuse
me,
miss,
I
know
it′s
not
funny
But
your
perfume
smells
like
your
daddy's
got
money
Why
you
slummin′
in
the
city
in
your
fancy
heels
You
searchin
for
an
urchin
who
can
give
you
ideals?
Burr,
you
disgust
me
Ah,
so
you've
discussed
me
I′m
a
trust
fund,
baby,
you
can
trust
me!
I've
been
reading
Common
Sense
by
Thomas
Paine
So
men
say
that
I'm
intense
or
I′m
insane
You
want
a
revolution?
I
want
a
revelation
So
listen
to
my
declaration
"We
hold
these
truths
to
be
self-evident
That
all
men
are
created
equal"
And
when
I
meet
Thomas

FarmerRefuted
Hear
ye,
hear
ye!
My
name
is
Samuel
Seabury
And
I
present
"Free
Thoughts
on
the
Proceedings
of
the
Continental
Congress"
Heed
not
the
rabble
who
scream,
"Revolution!"
They
have
not
your
interests
at
heart
Oh
my
God,
tear
this
dude
apart
Chaos
and
bloodshed
are
not
a
solution
Don′t
let
them
lead
you
astray
This
Congress
does
not
speak
for
me
(let
him
be)
They're
playing
a
dangerous
game
FarmerRefuted
pray
the
king
shows
you
his
mercy
For
shame
For
shame
Yeah,
he′d
have
you
all
unravel
at
the
sound
of
screams
but
the
(heed
not
the
rabble
who
scream)
Revolution
is
coming
the
have-nots
are
gonna
win
this
(they
have
not
your
interests
at
heart)
It's
hard
to
listen
to
you
with
a
straight
face
Chaos
and
bloodshed
already
haunt
us
(chaos
and
bloodshed
are
not
a
solution)
Honestly,
you
shouldn't
even
talk,
and
what
about
Boston?
(Don′t
let
them
lead
you
astray)
Look
at
the
cost
and
all
that
we′ve
lost,
and
you
talk
about
Congress?
(This
Congress
does
not
speak
for
me)
my
dog
speaks
more
eloquently
than
thee
(They're
playing
a
dangerous
game)
but
strangely,
your
mange
is
the
same
(I
pray
the
king
shows
you
his
mercy)
is
he
in
Jersey?
(For
shame)
for
the
revolution!
(For
shame)
for
the
revolution!
(Heed-)
if
you
repeat
yourself
again,
I′m
gonna
scream
(Scream-)
honestly,
look
at
me,
please
don't
read-
(Not
your
interests-)
don′t
modulate
the
key
then
not
debate
with
me
Why
should
a
tiny
island
across
the
sea
regulate
the
price
of
tea?
Alexander,
please!
Burr,
I'd
rather
be
divisive
than
indecisive
Drop
the
niceties
Silence!
A
message
from
the
King!
A
message
from
the
King!
You'll be Back
You
say
The
price
of
my
love′s
not
a
price
that
you're
willing
to
pay
You
cry
In
your
tea,
which
you
hurl
in
the
sea
when
you
see
me
go
by
Why
so
sad?
Remember,
we
made
an
arrangement
when
you
went
away
Now,
you′re
making
me
mad
Remember,
despite
our
estrangement,
I'm
your
man
You'll
be
back,
soon,
you′ll
see
You′ll
remember
you
belong
to
me
You'll
be
back,
time
will
tell
You′ll
remember
that
I
served
you
well
Oceans
rise,
empires
fall
We
have
seen
each
other
through
it
all
And
when
push
comes

shove
I
will
send
a
fully
armed
battalion
to
remind
you
of
my
love!

You′ll

when
I
am

And
no,

Right Hand Man
British
Admiral
Howe′s
got
troops
on
the
water
32,000
troops
in
New
York
Harbor
32,000
troops
in
New
York
Harbor
When
they
surround
our
troops
As
a
kid
in
the
Caribbean,
I
wished
for
a
war
I
knew
that
I
was
poor,
I
knew
it
was
the
only
way
to
rise
up
If
they
tell
my
story
I
am
either
gonna
die
on
the
battlefield
in
glory
or
rise
up
I
will
fight
for
this
land,
but
there's
only
one
man
Who
can
give
us
a
command,
so
we
can
rise
up
Understand,
it′s
the
only
way
to
rise
up,
rise
up
Here
he
comes
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!
Here
comes
the
general!
George
Washington!
We
are
out
gunned
(what!)
Out
manned
(what!)
Outnumbered,
out
planned
We
gotta
make
an
all
out
stand
Hey,
yo,
I'm
gonna
need
a
right
hand
man
Check
it
Can
I
be
real
a
second?
For
just
a
millisecond?
Let
down
my
guard
and
tell
the
people
how
I
feel
a
second?
Now
I′m
the
model
of
a
modern
major
general
The
venerated
Virginian
veteran
whose
men
are
all
Lining
up
to
put
me
up
on
a
pedestal,
writing
letters
to
relatives
Embellishing
my
elegance
and
eloquence
But
the
elephant
is
in
the
room
The
truth
is
in
your
face
When
you
hear
the
British
cannons
go
boom!
Any
hope
of
success
is
fleeting
How
can
I
keep
leading
when
the
people
I′m
leading
keep
retreating?
We
put
a
stop
to
the
bleeding
as
the
British
take
Brooklyn
Knight
takes
rook,
but
look
We
are
out
gunned
(what!)
Out
manned
(what!)
Outnumbered,
out
planned!
We
gotta
make
an
all
out
stand
Hey,
yo,
I'm
gonna
need
a
right
hand
man
Incoming!
They′re
battering
down
the
battery,
check
the
damages
We
gotta
stop
'em
and
rob
′em
of
their
advantages
Let's
take
a
stand
with
the
stamina
God
has
granted
us
Hamilton
won′t
abandon
ship,
yo,
let's
steal
their
cannons!
(boom!)
Goes
the
cannon,
watch
the
blood
and
the
shit
spray
And
(boom!)
Goes
the
cannon,
we're
abandoning
Kips
Bay
And
(boom!)
There′s
another
ship
And
(boom!)
We
just
lost
the
southern
tip
And
(boom!)
We
gotta
run
to
Harlem
quick
We
can′t
afford
another
slip
Guns
and
horses
giddy
up
I
decide
to
divvy
up
my
forces
They're
skittish
as
the
British
cut
the
city
up
This
close
to
giving
up,
facing
mad
scrutiny
I
scream
in
the
face
of
this
mass
mutiny
"Are
these
the
men
with
which
I
am
to
defend
America?"
We
ride
at
midnight,
Manhattan
in
the
distance
I
cannot
be
everywhere
at
once,
people!
I′m
in
dire
need
of
assistance
Your
Excellency,
sir
(who
are
you?)
Aaron
Burr,
sir
Permission
to
state
my
case?
(As
you
were)
Sir,
I
was
a
captain
under
General
Montgomery
Until
he
caught
a
bullet
in
the
neck
in
Quebec,
and
well,
in
summary
I
think
that
I
could
be
of
some
assistance
I
admire
how
you
keep
firing
on
the
British
from
a
distance
I
have
some
questions,
a
couple
of
suggestions
On
how
to
fight
instead
of
fleeing
west
(yes?)
Well
Your
Excellency?
You
wanted
to
see
me?
Hamilton,
come
in,
have
you
met
Burr?
Yes,
sir!
We
keep
meeting
As
I
was
saying,
sir
I
look
forward
to
seeing
your
strategy
play
out
Burr?
(Sir?)
Close
the
door
on
your
way
out
(Have
I
done
something
wrong,
sir?)
On
the
contrary
I
called
you
here
because
our
odds
are
beyond
scary
Your
reputation
precedes
you,
but
I
have
to
laugh
(sir?)
Hamilton,
how
come
no
one
can
get
you
on
their
staff?
(Sir!)
Don't
get
me
wrong,
you′re
a
young
man
of
great
renown
I
know
you
stole
British
cannons
when
we
were
still
downtown
Nathanael
Greene
and
Henry
Knox
wanted
to
hire
you
(To
be
their
secretary!
I
don't
think
so)
Now
why
are
you
upset?
(I′m
not?)
It's
alright
you
want
to
fight,
you've
got
a
hunger
I
was
just
like
you
when
I
was
younger
Head
full
of
fantasies
of
dying
like
a
martyr
(yes)
Dying
is
easy,
young
man,
living
is
harder
(Why
are
you
telling
me
this?)
I′m
being
honest
I′m
working
with
a
third
of
what
our
Congress
has
promised
We
are
a
powder
keg
about
to
explode
I
need
someone
like
you
to
lighten
the
load,
so?
I
am
not
throwing
away
my
shot
I
am
not
throwing
away
my
shot
Hey,
yo,
I'm
just
like
my
country
I′m
young,
scrappy,
and
hungry
I
am
not
throwing
away
my
shot
Son,
we
are
out
gunned,
out
manned!
You
need
all
the
help
you
can
get,
I
have
some
friends
Laurens,
Mulligan,
Marquis
de
Lafayette!
Okay,
what
else?
Outnumbered,
out
planned!
We'll
need
some
spies
on
the
inside
Some
king′s
men
who
might
let
some
things
slide
I'll
write
to
Congress
and
tell
′em
we
need
supplies
You
rally
the
guys,
master
the
element
of
surprise
I'll
rise
above
my
station,
organize
your
information
'Til
we
rise
to
the
occasion
of
our
new
nation,
sir!
Here
comes
the
general!
Rise
up!
(What!)
Here
comes
the
general!
Rise
up!
(What!)
Here
comes
the
general!
Rise
up!
(What!)
Here
comes
the
general!
What!
And
his
right
hand
man!
Boom!

A
winter's
ball
And
the
Schuyler
sisters
are
the
envy
of
all
Yo,
if
you
can
marry
a
sister,
you're
rich,
son
Is
it
a
question
of
if,
Burr,
or
which
one?
Hey
Hey
Hey
Oh,
helpless
I
do
I
do
I
do
I
Dooo!
Boy,
you
got
me
helpless!
Look
into
your
eyes,
and
the
sky′s
the
limit
I'm
Helpless!
Down
for
the
count,
and
I′m
drownin'
in
'em
I
have
never
been
the
type
to
try
and
grab
the
spotlight
We
were
at
a
revel
with
some
rebels
on
a
hot
night
Laughin′
at
my
sister
as
she′s
dazzling
the
room
Then
you
walked
in
and
my
heart
went
"Boom!"
Tryin'
to
catch
your
eye
from
the
side
of
the
ballroom
Everybody′s
dancin'
and
the
band′s
top
volume
Grind
to
the
rhythm
as
we
wine
and
dine
Grab
my
sister,
and
whisper
"Yo,
this
one's
mine."
My
sister
made
her
way
across
the
room
to
you
And
I
got
nervous,
thinking
"What′s
she
gonna
do?"
She
grabs
you
by
the
arm,
I'm
thinkin'
"I′m
through"
Then
you
look
back
at
me
and
suddenly
I′m
Helpless!
Look
into
your
eyes
(Oh,
look
at
those
eyes)
And
the
sky's
the
limit
I′m
helpless
Down
for
the
count
And
I'm
drownin′
in
'em
I′m
helpless!
(I'm
so
into
you)
Look
into
your
eyes
And
the
sky's
the
limit
I′m
helpless!
I′m
down
for
the
count
And
I'm
drownin′
in

Where
are
you
taking
me?
I′m
about
to
change
your
life
Then
by
all
means,
lead
the
way
Elizabeth
Schuyler.
It's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
Schuyler?
My
sister
Thank
you
for
all
your
service
If
it
takes
fighting
a
war
for
us
to
meet
It
will
have
been
worth
it
I′ll
leave
you
to
it
One
week
later
I'm
writin'
a
letter
nightly
Now
my
life
gets
better
Every
letter
that
you
write
me
Laughin′
at
my
sister,
′cause
she
wants
to
form
a
harem
I'm

You

While

as
you
wine

And
I'm
tryin′
not
to
cry
′Cause
there's
nothing
that
your
mind
can′t
do
My
father
makes
his

across
the
room
to
you
I
panic
for
a
second,
thinking
"We're
through"
But
then
he
shakes
your
hand
and
says
"Be
true"
And
you
turn
back
to
me,
smiling,
and
I′m

Look
into
your
eyes
And
the
sky's

limit,

side,
by
your
side)
To
your
union
(to
the
union,
to
the
revolution!)
And
the
hope
that
you
provide
(You
provide,
you
provide)
May
you
always
(always)
Be
satisfied
(rewind)
Rewind,
Helpless,
skies...
skies
Helpless,
drowning
Rewind
I
remember
that
night,
I
just
might
I
remember
that
night,
I
just
might
(rewind)
I
remember
that
night
I
remember
that
I
remember
that
night,
I
just
might
Regret
that
night
for
the
rest
of
my
days
I
remember
those
soldier
boys
Tripping
over
themselves
to
win
our
praise
I
remember
that
dreamlike
candlelight
Like
a
dream
that
you
can′t
quite
place
But
Alexander,
I'll
never
forget
the
first
time
I
saw
your
face
I
have
never
been
the
same
Intelligent
eyes
in
a
hunger-pang
frame
And
when
you
said
"Hi,"
I
forgot
my
dang
name
Set
my
heart
aflame,
ev'ry
part
aflame
This
is
not
a
game
You
strike
me
as
a
woman
who
has
never
been
satisfied
I′m
sure
I
don′t
know
what
you
mean
You
forget
yourself
You're
like
me,
I′m
never
satisfied
Is
that
right?
I
have
never
Lyrics
been
satisfied
My
name
is
Angelica
Schuyler
Alexander
Hamilton
Where's
your
family
from?
Unimportant,
there′s
a
million
things
I
haven't
done
Just
you
wait,
just
you
wait
So
so
so
So
this
is
what
it
feels
like
to
match
wits
With
someone
at
your
level!
what
the
hell
is
the
catch?
It′s
the
feeling
of
freedom,
of
seeing
the
light
It's
Ben
Franklin
with
a
key
and
a
kite
You
see
it
right?
The
conversation
lasted
two
minutes,
maybe
three
minutes
Everything
we
said
in
total
agreement
It's
a
dream
and
it′s
a
bit
of
a
dance
A
bit
of
a
posture,
it′s
a
bit
of
a
stance
He's
a
bit
of
a
flirt,
but
I′mma
give
it
a
chance
I
asked
about
his
fam'ly,
did
you
see
his
answer?
His
hands
started
fidgeting,
he
looked
askance
He′s
penniless,
he's
flying
by
the
seat
of
his
pants
Handsome,
boy
does
he
know
it
Peach
fuzz
and
he
can′t
even
grow
it
I
wanna
take
him
far
away
from
this
place
Then
I
turn
and
see
my
sister's
face
and
she
is
Helpless
And
I
know
she
is
Helpless
And
her
eyes
are
just
Helpless
And
I
realize
(Three
fundamental
truths
at
the
exact
same
time)
Where
are
you
taking
me?
I'm
about
to
change
your
life
Then
by
all
means,
lead
the
way
(Number
one!)
I′m
a
girl
in
a
world
in
which
My
only
job
is
to
marry
rich
My
father
has
no
sons
so
I′m
the
one
who
has
to
social
climb
for
one
So
I'm
the
oldest
and
the
wittiest
and
the
gossip
in
New
York
City
is
insidious
And
Alexander
is
penniless
Ha,
that
doesn′t
mean
I
want
him
any
less
Elizabeth
Schuyler,
it's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
Schuyler?
My
sister
(Number
two!)
He′s
after
me
because
I'm
a
Schuyler
sister
That
elevates
his
status
I′d
have
to
be
naive
to
set
that
aside
Maybe
that
is
why
I
introduce
him
to
Eliza
Now
that's
his
bride
Nice
going
Angelica,
he
was
right,
you
will
never
be
satisfied
Thank
you
for
all
your
service
If
it
takes
fighting
a
war
for
us
to
meet,
it
will
have
been
worth
it
I'll
leave
you
to
it
(Number
three!)
I
know
my
sister
like
I
know
my
own
mind
You
will
never
find
anyone
as
trusting
or
as
kind
If
I
tell
her
that
I
love
him
she′d
be
silently
resigned
He′d
be
mine
She
would
say
"I'm
fine",
she′d
be
lying
But
when
I
fantasize
at
night,
it's
Alexander′s
eyes
As
I
romanticize
what
might
have
been
if
I
hadn't
sized
Him
up
so
quickly
At
least
my
dear
Eliza′s
his
wife
At
least
I
keep
his
eyes
in
my
life
To
the
groom!
To
the
bride!
From
your
sister
(Angelica,
Angelica)
Who
is
always
by
your
side
To
your
union!
(To
the
union,
to
the
revolution)
And
the
hope
that
you
provide
May
you
always
(always)
Be
satisfied
(satisfied,
satisfied,
satisfied)
And
I
know
(be
satisfied,
be
satisfied,
be
satisfied)
She'll
be
happy
as
his
bride
(satisfied,
satisfied,
satisfied)
And
I
know
(be
satisfied,
satisfied,
satisfied,
satisfied)
He
will
never
be
satisfied
I
will
never
be
satisfied
The Story of Tonight (Reprise)
I
may
not
live
to
see
our
glory
I
may
not
live
to
see
our
glory
But
I′ve
seen
wonders
great
and
small
I've
seen
wonders
great
and
small
′Cause
if
the
tomcat
can
get
married
If
Alexander
can
get
married
There's
hope
for
our
ass
after
all
Raise
a
glass
to
freedom
Hey!
Something
you
will
never
see
again
No
matter
what
she
tells
you
Let's
have
another
round
tonight
Raise
a
glass
to
the
four
of
us
To
the
newly
not
poor
of
us
We′ll
tell
the
story
of
tonight
Let′s
have
another
round
Well,
if
it
isn't
Aaron
Burr
Sir!
I
didn′t
think
that
you
would
make
it
To
be
sure
Uh
Yaleo
I
came
to
say
congratulations
Spit
a
verse,
Burr
I
see
the
whole
gang
is
here
You
are
the
worst,
Burr
Ignore
them
Congrats
to
you,
Lieutenant
Colonel
I
wish
I
had
your
command
Instead
of
manning
George's
journal
No
you
don′t
Yes
I
do
Now
be
sensible
From
what
I
hear
You've
made
yourself
indispensable
Well!
Well,
I
heard
You′ve
got
a
special
someone
on
the
side,
Burr
Is
that
so?
What
are
you
trying
to
hide,
Burr?
I
should
go
No,
these
guys
should
go!
What?
No!
Leave
us
alone
Man!
It's
alright,
Burr
I
wish
you
brought
this
girl
with
you
tonight,
Burr
You're
very
kind,
but
I′m
afraid
it′s
unlawful,
sir
What
do
you
mean?
She's
married
I
see
She′s
married
to
a
British
officer
Oh
shit
Congrats
again,
Alexander
Smile
more
I'll
see
you
on
the
other
side
of
the
war
I
will
never
understand
you
If
you
love
this
woman,
go
get
her
What
are
you
waiting
for?
I′ll
see
you
on
the
other
side
of
the
war
I'll
see
you
on
the
other
side
of
the
war
Wait for it
Theodosia
writes
me
a
letter
every
day
I′m
keeping
the
bed
warm
while
her
husband
is
away
He's
on
the
British
side
in
Georgia
He′s
trying
to
keep
the
colonies
inline
But
he
can
keep
all
of
Georgia
Theodosia,
she's
mine
Love
doesn't
discriminate
Between
the
sinners
and
the
saints
It
takes
and
it
takes
and
it
takes
And
we
keep
loving
anyway
We
laugh
and
we
cry
and
we
break
And
we
make
our
mistakes
And
if
there′s
a
reason
I′m
by
her
side
When
so
many
have
tried
Then
I'm
willing
to
wait
for
it
I′m
willing
to
wait
for
it
My
grandfather
was
a
fire
and
brimstone
preacher
(Preacher,
Preacher,
Preacher)
But
there
are
things
that
the
Homilies
and
hymns
won't
teach
ya
(Teach
ya,
Teach
ya,
Teach
ya)
My
mother
was
a
genius
(Genius)
My
father
commanded
respect
(Respect,
Respect)
When
they
died
they
left
no
instructions
Just
a
legacy
to
protect
Death
doesn′t
discriminate
Between
the
sinners
and
the
saints
It
Lyrics
takes
and
it
takes
and
it
takes
And
we
keep
living
anyway
We
rise
and
we
fall
and
we
break
And
we
make
our
mistakes
And
if
there's
a
reason
I′m
still
alive
When
everyone
who
loves
me
has
died
I'm
willing
to
wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it)
I'm
willing
to
wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it)
I
am
the
one
thing
in
life
I
can
control
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it)
I
am
inimitable
I
am
an
original
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it)
I′m
not
falling
behind
or
running
late
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
for
it)
I′m
not
standing
still
I
am
lying
in
wait
(Wait,
wait,
wait)
Hamilton
faces
an
endless
uphill
climb
(Climb,
climb,
climb)
He
has
something
to
prove
He
has
nothing
to
lose
(Lose,
lose,
lose,
lose)
Hamilton's
pace
is
relentless
He
wastes
no
time
(Time,
time,
time)
What
is
it
like
in
his
shoes?
Hamilton
doesn′t
hesitate
He
exhibits
no
restraint
He
takes
and
he
takes
and
he
takes
And
he
keeps
winning
anyway
He
changes
the
game
He
plays
and
he
raises
the
stakes
And
if
there's
a
reason
He
seems
to
thrive
when
so
few
survive,
then
Goddamnit
I′m
willing
to
wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it)
I'm
willing
to
wait
for
it
Life
doesn′t
discriminate
Between
the
sinners
and
the
saints
It
takes
and
it
takes
and
it
takes
(And
we
keep
living
anyway)
We
rise
(and
we
fall)
We
fall
(and
we
break)
(And
we
make
our
mistakes)
And
if
there's
a
reason
I'm
still
alive
When
so
many
have
died
Then
I′m
willin′
to-
Wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it)
Wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it
(Wait
for
it,
wait
for

wait
for

wait
for
it,
wait

(Wait)
Stay Alive
Stay
alive
Stay
alive
I
have
never
seen
the
General
so
despondent
I
have
taken
over
writing
all
his
correspondence
Congress
writes,
"George,
attack
the
British
forces"
I
shoot
back,
we
have
resorted
to
eating
our
horses
Local
merchants
deny
us
equipment,
assistance
They
only
take
British
money,
so
sing
a
song
of
sixpence
The
cavalry's
not
coming
But,
sir
Alex,
listen,
there's
only
one
way
for
us
to
win
this
Provoke
outrage
Outright
That's
right
Don't
engage,
strike
by
night
Remain
relentless
'til
their
troops
take
flight
Make
it
impossible
to
justify
the
cost
of
the
fight
Outrun
Outrun
Outlast
Outlast
Hit
'em
quick,
get
out
fast
Chick-a-plao!
Stay
alive
'til
this
horror
show
is
past
We're
gonna
fly
a
lot
of
flags
half-mast
(Raise
a
glass)
I
go
back
to
New
York
and
my
apprenticeship
I
ask
for
French
aid,
I
pray
that
France
has
sent
a
ship
I
stay
at
work
with
Hamilton,
we
write
essays
against
slavery
And
every
day's
a
test
of
our
camaraderie
and
bravery
We
cut
supply
lines,
we
steal
contraband
We
pick
and
choose
our
battles
and
places
to
take
a
stand
And
every
day,
sir,
entrust
me
with
a
command
And
every
day-
No
He
dismisses
me
out
of
hand
instead
of
me,
he
promotes
Charles
Lee
Makes
him
second-in-command
(I'm
a
general,
whee!)
Yeah,
he's
not
the
choice
I
woulda
gone
with
He
shits
the
bed
at
the
Battle
of
Monmouth
Everyone,
attack!
Retreat!
Attack!
Retreat!
What
are
you
doing,
Lee?
Get
back
on
your
feet!
But
there's
so
many
of
them
I'm
sorry,
is
this
not
your
speed?
Hamilton
Ready,
sir
Have
Lafayette
take
the
lead
Yes,
sir
A
thousand
soldiers
die
in
a
hundred-degree
heat
As
we
snatch
a
stalemate
from
the
jaws
of
defeat
Charles
Lee
was
left
behind
without
a
pot
to
piss
in
He
started
saying
this
to
anybody
who
would
listen
Washington
cannot
be
left
alone
to
his
devices
Indecisive
from
crisis
to
crisis
The
best
thing
he
can
do
for
the
revolution
Is
turn
'n
go
back
to
plantin'
tobacco
in
Mount
Vernon
Don't
do
a
thing,
history
will
prove
him
wrong
But,
sir
We
have
a
war
to
fight,
let's
move
along
Strong
words
from
Lee,
someone
oughta
hold
him
to
it
I
can't
disobey
direct
orders
Then
I'll
do
it
Alexander,
you're
the
closest
friend
I've
got
Laurens,
do
not
throw
away
your
shot
Ten Duel Commandments
One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine
It′s
the
ten
duel
commandments
It's
the
ten
duel
commandments
Number
one!
The
challenge:
demand
satisfaction
If
they
apologize,
no
need
for
further
action
Number
two!
If
they
don′t,
grab
a
friend,
that's
your
second
Your
Lieutenant,
when
there's
reckoning
to
be
reckoned
Number
three!
Have
your
seconds
meet
face
to
face
Negotiate
a
peace
Or
negotiate
a
time
and
place
This
is
commonplace,
specially
′tween
recruits
Most
disputes
die
and
no
one
shoots
Number
four!
If
they
don′t
reach
a
peace,
that's
alright
Time
to
get
some
pistols
and
a
doctor
on
site
You
pay
him
in
advance,
you
treat
him
with
civility
You
have
him
turn
around,
so
he
can
have
deniability
Five!
Duel
before
the
sun
is
in
the
sky
Pick
a
place
to
die
where
it′s
high
and
dry
Number
six!
Leave
a
note
for
your
next
of
kin
Tell
'em
where
you
been
Pray
that
Hell
or
Heaven
lets
you
in
Seven!
Confess
your
sins
Ready
for
the
moment
of
adrenaline
When
you
finally
face
your
opponent
Number
eight!
Your
last
chance
to
negotiate
Send
in
your
seconds
See
if
they
can
set
the
record
straight
Alexander
Aaron
Burr,
sir
Can
we
agree
that
duels
are
dumb
and
immature?
Sure
But
your
man
has
to
answer
for
his
words,
Burr
With
his
life?
We
both
know
that′s
absurd,
sir
Hang
on,
how
many
men
died
because
Lee
was
inexperienced
and
ruinous?
Okay,
so
we're
doing
this
Number
nine!
Look
him
in
the
eye,
aim
no
higher
Summon
all
the
courage
you
require
Lyrics
Then
count
One,
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight,
nine
Number
(Ten
paces!)
Fire!
Meet Me inside
Lee,
do
you
yield?
You
shot
him
in
the
side!
Yes,
he
yields!
I′m
satisfied
Yo,
we
gotta
clear
the
field!
Go!
We
won
Here
comes
the
General!
This
should
be
fun
What
is
the
meaning
of
this?
Mr.
Burr,
get
a
medic
for
the
General
Yes,
sir
Lee,
you
will
never
agree
with
me
But
believe
me,
these
young
men
don't
speak
for
me
Thank
you
for
your
service
Let′s
ride!
Hamilton!
Sir!
Meet
me
inside
Meet
him
inside,
meet
him
inside
Meet
him
inside,
meet
him,
meet
him
inside
Son-
Don't
call
me
son
This
war
is
hard
enough
Without
infighting-
Lee
called
you
out,
we
called
his
bluff
You
solve
nothing,
you
aggravate
our
allies
to
the
south
You're
absolutely
right,
John
should
have
shot
him
in
the
mouth
That
would′ve
shut
him
up
Son-
I′m
not
cha
son-
Watch
your
tone
I
am
not
a
maiden
in
need
of
defending,
I
am
grown
Charles
Lee,
Thomas
Conway
These
men
take
your
name
and
they
rake
it
through
the
mud
My
name's
been
through
a
lot,
I
can
take
it
Well,
I
don′t
have
your
name.
I
don't
have
your
titles
I
don′t
have
your
land,
but,
if
you-
No-
If
you
gave
me
command
of
a
battalion
A
group
of
men
to
lead,
I
could
fly
above
my
station
after
the
war
Or
you
could
die
and
we
need
you
alive
I
am
more
than
willing
to
die-
Your
wife
needs
you
alive,
son,
I
need
you
alive-
Call
me
son
one
more
time-
Go
home,
Alexander
That's
an
order
from
your
commander
Sir-
Go
home
That would be enough
Look
around,
look
around
at
how
lucky
we
are
To
be
alive
right
now
Look
around,
look
around
How
long
have
you
known?
A
month
or
so
Eliza,
you
should
have
told
me
I
wrote
to
the
General
a
month
ago,
no
I
begged
him
to
send
you
home
You
should
have
told
me
I′m
not
sorry
I
knew
you'd
fight
until
the
war
was
won
(the
war′s
not
done)
But
you
deserve
a
chance
to
meet
your
son
Look
around,
look
around
At
how
lucky
we
are
to
be
alive
right
now
Will
you
relish
being
a
poor
man's
wife
Unable
to
provide
for
your
life?
I
relish
being
your
wife
Look
around,
look
around
Look
at
where
you
are
Look
at
where
you
started
The
fact
that
you're
alive
is
a
miracle
Just
stay
alive,
that
would
be
enough
And
if
this
child
Shares
a
fraction
of
your
smile
Or
a
fragment
of
your
mind
Look
out
world
That
would
be
enough
I
don′t
pretend
to
know
The
challenges
you′re
facing
The
worlds
you
keep
erasing
and
creating
in
your
mind
But
I'm
not
afraid
I
know
who
I
married
So
long
as
you
come
home
at
the
end
of
the
day
That
would
be
enough
We
don′t
need
a
legacy
We
don't
need
money
If
I
could
grant
you
peace
of
mind
If
you
could
let
me
inside
your
heart
Oh,
let
me
be
a
part
of
the
narrative
In
the
story,
they
will
write
someday
Let
this
moment
be
the
first
chapter
Where
you
decide
to
stay
And
I
could
be
enough
And
we
could
be
enough
GunsandShips
How
does
a
ragtag
volunteer
army,
in
need
of
a
shower
Somehow
defeat
a
global
superpower?
How
do
we
emerge
victorious
from
the
quagmire?
Leave
the
battlefield
waving
Betsy
Ross′s
flag
higher?
Yo,
turns
out
we
have
a
secret
weapon
An
immigrant
you
know
and
love
who's
unafraid
to
step
in
He′s
constantly
confusing,
confounding
the
British
henchmen
Everyone
give
it
up
for
America's
favourite
fighting
Frenchman
Lafayette!
I'm
taking
this
horse
by
the
reins
Making
redcoats
redder
with
bloodstains
Lafayette!
And
I′m
never
gonna
stop
until
I
make
′em
drop
And
burn
'em
up
and
scatter
the
remains
I′m
Watch
me
engaging
'em,
escaping
′em,
enraging
'em,
ow
Lafayette!
I
go
to
France
for
more
funds
Lafayette!
I
come
back
with
more
guns
And
ships
And
so
the
balance
shifts
We
rendezvous
with
Rochambeau
Consolidate
their
gifts
We
can
end
this
war
at
Yorktown,
cut
them
off
at
sea,
but
For
this
to
succeed,
there
is
someone
else
we
need
I
know
(Hamilton!)
Sir,
he
knows
what
to
do
in
the
trench
Ingenuitive
and
fluent
in
French
I
mean
(Hamilton!)
Sir,
you′re
going
to
have
to
use
him
eventually
What's
he
going
to
do
on
the
bench
I
mean
(Hamilton!)
No
one
has
more
resilience
Or
matches
my
practical,
tactical
brilliance
(Hamilton!)
You
want
to
fight
for
your
land
back?
(Hamilton!)
I
need
my
right
hand
man
back
(Hamilton!)
get
your
right
hand
man
back
(Hamilton!)
(You
know
you
gotta
get
ya)
right
hand
man
back
I
mean,
you
gotta
put
some
thought
into
the
letter
But
the
sooner
the
better
To
get
your
right
hand
man
back
Alexander
Hamilton
Troops
are
waiting
in
the
field
for
you
If
you
join
us
right
now,
together
we
can
turn
the
tide
Oh,
Alexander
Hamilton
I
have
soldiers
that
will
yield
for
you
If
we
manage
to
get
this
right
They'll
surrender
by
early
light
The
world
will
never
be
the
same
Alexander
HistoryHasItsEyesOnYou
I
was
younger
than
you
are
now
When
I
was
given
my
first
command
I
led
my
men
straight
into
a
massacre
I
witnessed
their
deaths
firsthand
I
made
every
mistake
And
felt
the
shame
rise
in
me
And
even
now
I
lie
awake
Knowing
history
has
its
eyes
on
me
History
has
its
eyes
on
me
Let
me
tell
you
what
I
wish
I′d
known
When
I
was
young
and
dreamed
of
glory
You
have
no
control
Who
lives,
who
dies,
who
tells
your
story
I
know
that
we
can
win
I
know
that
greatness
lies
in
you
But
remember
from
here
on
in
History
has
its
eyes
on
you
History
has
its
eyes
on
you
Yorktown(TheWorldTurnedUpsideDown)
Lyrics
The
Battle
of
Yorktown
1781
Monsieur
Hamilton
Monsieur
Lafayette
In
command
where
you
belong
How
you
say,
no
sweat
We′re
finally
on
the
field
We've
had
quite
a
run
Immigrants
We
get
the
job
done
So
what
happens
if
we
win?
I
go
back
to
France
I
bring
freedom
to
my
people
if
I′m
given
the
chance
We'll
be
with
you
when
you
do
Go
lead
your
men
I
see
you
on
the
other
side
'Til
we
meet
again,
let′s
go!
I
am
not
throwin′
away
my
shot!
I
am
not
throwin'
away
my
shot!
Hey
yo,
I′m
just
like
my
country,
I'm
young
Scrappy
and
hungry
And
I′m
not
throwin'
away
my
shot!
I
am
not
throwin′
away
my
shot!
'Til
the
world
turns
upside
down...
The
world
turns
upside
down!
I
imagine
death
so
much
it
feels
more
like
a
memory
This
is
where
it
gets
me:
on
my
feet
The
enemy
ahead
of
me
If
this
is
the
end
of
me,
at
least
I
have
a
friend
with
me
Weapon
in
my
hand,
a
command,
and
my
men
with
me
Then
I
remember
my
Eliza's
expecting
me...
Not
only
that,
my
Eliza′s
expecting
We
gotta
go,
gotta
get
the
job
done
Gotta
start
a
new
nation,
gotta
meet
my
son!
Take
the
bullets
out
your
gun!
What?
The
bullets
out
your
gun!
What?
We
move
under
cover
and
we
move
as
one
Through
the
night,
we
have
one
shot
to
live
another
day
We
cannot
let
a
stray
gunshot
give
us
away
We
will
fight
up
close,
seize
the
moment
and
stay
in
it
It′s
either
that
or
meet
the
business
end
of
a
bayonet
The
code
word
is
'Rochambeau′
dig
me?
Rochambeau!
You
have
your
orders
now,
go,
man,
go!
Left!
Right!
Hold!
Go!
What?
What?
What?
After
a
week
of
fighting,
A
young
man
in
a
red
coat
stands
on
a
parapet
We
lower
our
guns
as
he
frantically
waves
a
white
handkerchief
And
just
like
that,
it's
over.
We
tend
to
our
wounded,
we
count
our
dead
Black
and
white
soldiers
wonder
alike
if
this
really
means
freedom
Not
yet
We
negotiate
the
terms
of
surrender
I
see
George
Washington
smile
We
escort
their
men
out
of
Yorktown
They
stagger
home
single
file
Tens
of
thousands
of
people
flood
the
streets
There
are
screams
and
church
bells
ringing
And
as
our
fallen
foes
retreat
I
hear
the
drinking
song
they′re
singing...
The
world
turned
upside
down
The
world
turned
upside
down
The
world
turned
upside
down
The
world
turned
upside
down
Down
Down,
down,
down
Freedom
for
America,
freedom
for
France!
Down,
down,
down
Gotta
start
a
new
nation
Gotta
meet
my
son
Down,
down,
down
We
won!
We
won!
We
won!
We
won!
The
world
turned
upside
down!
WhatComesNext?
They
say
The
price
of
my
war′s
not
a
price
that
they
are
willing
to
pay
Insane
You
cheat
with
the
French
Now
I'm
fighting
with
France
and
with
Spain
I′m
so
blue
I
thought
that
we
made
an
arrangement
when
you
went
away
You
were
mine
to
subdue
When
even
despite
our
estrangement
I've
got
a
small
query
for
you
What
comes
next?
You've
been
freed
Do
you
know
how
hard
it
is
to
lead?
You′re
on
your
own
Awesome,
wow!
Do
you
have
a
clue
what
happens
now?
Oceans
rise
Empires
fall
It′s
much
harder
when
it's
all
your
call
All
alone,
across
the
sea
When
your
people
say
they
hate
you
Don′t
come
crawling
back
to
me
Dadadadadadadadada
ya
da
Dadadadada
ya
da!
You're
on
your
own
DearTheodosia
Dear
Theodosia,
what
to
say
to
you?
You
have
my
eyes,
you
have
your
mother′s
name
When
you
came
into
the
world,
you
cried
And
it
broke
my
heart
I'm
dedicating
every
day
to
you
Domestic
life
was
never
quite
my
style
When
you
smile,
you
knock
me
out,
I
fall
apart
And
to
thought
I
was
so
smart
You
will
come
of
age
with
our
young
nation
We′ll
bleed
and
fight
for
you
We'll
make
it
right
for
you
If
we
lay
a
strong
enough
foundation
We'll
pass
it
on
to
you,
we′ll
give
the
world
to
you
And
you′ll
blow
us
all
away
Someday,
someday
Yeah,
you'll
blow
us
all
away
Someday,
someday
Oh,
Philip,
when
you
smile
I
am
undone
My
son,
look
at
my
son
Pride
is
not
the
word
I′m
looking
for
There
is
so
much
more
inside
me
now
Oh,
Philip,
you
outshine
the
morning
sun
My
son
When
you
smile,
I
fall
apart
And
I
thought
I
was
so
smart
My
father
wasn't
around
(my
father
wasn′t
around)
I
swear
that
I'll
be
around
for
you
I′ll
do
whatever
it
takes
(I'll
make
a
million
mistakes)
I'll
make
the
world
safe
and
sound
for
you
Will
come
of
age
with
our
young
nation
We′ll
bleed
and
fight
for
you
We′ll
make
it
right
for
you
If
we
lay
a
strong
enough
foundation
We'll
pass
it
on
to
you,
we′ll
give
the
world
to
you
And
you'll
blow
us
all
away
Someday,
someday
Yeah,
you′ll
blow
us
all
away
Someday,
someday
Non-Stop
After
the
war
I
went
back
to
New
York
A-After
the
war
I
went
back
to
New
York
I
finished
up
my
studies
and
I
practiced
law
I
practiced
law,
Burr
worked
next
door
Even
though
we
started
at
the
very
same
time
Alexander
Hamilton
began
to
climb
How
to
account
for
his
rise
to
the
top?
Man,
the
man
is
Non-stop!
Gentlemen
of
the
jury,
I′m
curious,
bear
with
me
Are
you
aware
that
we're
making
history?
This
is
the
first
murder
trial
of
our
brand-new
nation
The
liberty
behind
deliberation
Non-stop!
I
am
meant
to
prove
beyond
a
shadow
of
a
doubt
With
my
assistant
counsel—
Co-counsel.
Hamilton,
sit
down
Our
client
Levi
Weeks
is
innocent,
call
your
first
witness
That′s
all
you
had
to
say
Okay,
one
more
thing—
Why
do
you
assume
you're
the
smartest
in
the
room?
Why
do
Lyrics
you
assume
you're
the
smartest
in
the
room?
Why
do
you
assume
you′re
the
smartest
in
the
room?
Soon
that
attitude
may
be
your
doom
Aww!
Why
do
you
write
like
you′re
running
out
of
time?
Write
day
and
night
like
you're
running
out
of
time
Every
day
you
fight
like
you′re
running
out
of
time
Keep
on
fighting,
in
the
meantime
Non-stop!
Corruption's
such
an
old
song
that
we
can
sing
along
in
harmony
And
nowhere
is
it
stronger
than
in
Albany
This
colony′s
economy's
increasingly
stalling
And
honestly,
that′s
why
(He's
just)
Public
service
seems
to
be
(non-stop!)
calling
me
I
practiced
the
law,
practic'ly
perfected
it
I′ve
seen
injustice
in
the
world
and
I′ve
corrected
it
Now
for
a
strong
central
democracy
If
not,
then
I'll
be
Socrates
Throwing
verbal
rocks
at
these
mediocrities
Hamilton
at
the
Constitutional
Convention
I
was
chosen
for
the
Constitutional
Convention!
There
as
a
New
York
junior
delegate
Now
what
I′m
gonna
say
may
sound
indelicate...
Goes
and
proposes
his
own
form
of
government
What?
His
own
plan
for
a
new
form
of
government
What?
Talks
for
six
hours,
the
convention
is
listless
Bright
young
man!
Yo,
who
the
eff
is
this?
Why
do
you
always
say
what
you
believe?
Why
do
you
always
say
what
you
believe?
Every
proclamation
guarantees
Free
ammunition
for
your
enemies
Why
do
you
write
like
it's
going
out
of
style
(goin
out
of
style,
hey)
Write
day
and
night
like
it′s
going
out
of
style
(goin
out
of
style,
hey)
Every
day
you
fight
like
it's
going
out
of
style
Do
you
what
you
do
Alexander?
Aaron
Burr,
sir
Well,
it′s
the
middle
of
the
night
Can
we
confer,
sir?
Is
this
a
legal
matter?
Yes,
and
it's
important
to
me
What
do
you
need?
Burr,
you're
a
better
lawyer
than
me
Okay?
I
know
I
talk
too
much,
I′m
abrasive
You′re
incredible
in
court,
you're
succinct,
persuasive
My
client
needs
a
strong
defence,
you′re
the
solution
Who's
your
client?
The
new
U.S.
Constitution?
No
Hear
me
out—
No
way!
A
series
of
essays
anonymously
published
Defending
the
document
to
the
public
No
one′ll
read
it
I
disagree!
And
if
it
fails?
Burr,
that's
why
we
need
it
The
constitution′s
a
mess!
So
it
needs
amendments
It's
full
of
contradictions!
So
is
independence
We
have
to
start
somewhere
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no
way
You're
making
a
mistake
Good
night!
Hey!
What
are
you
waiting
for?
What
do
you
stall
for?
What?
We
won
the
war,
what
was
it
all
for?
Do
you
support
this
constitution?
Of
course
Then
defend
it!
And
what
if
you′re
backing
the
wrong
horse?
Burr,
we
studied
and
we
fought
and
we
killed
For
the
notion
of
a
nation
we
now
get
to
build
For
once
in
your
life
take
a
stand
with
pride
I
don′t
understand
how
you
stand
to
the
side
I
don't
keep
all
my
plans
close
to
my
chest
Wait
for
it,
wait
for
it,
wait
I
won′t
wait
here
and
see
which
Way
the
wind
will
blow
I'm
taking
my
time
watching
the
afterbirth
of
a
nation
Watching
the
tension
grow
I
am
sailing
off
to
London
I
am
accompanied
by
someone
who
always
pays
I
have
found
a
wealthy
husband
Who
will
keep
me
in
comfort
for
all
my
days
He
is
not
a
lot
of
fun
but
There′s
no
one
who
can
match
you
for
turn
of
phrase
My
Alexander—
Angelica
Don't
forget
to
write
Look
at
where
you
are
Look
at
where
you
started
The
fact
that
you′re
alive
is
a
miracle
Just
stay
alive,
that
would
be
enough
And
if
your
wife
could
share
a
fraction
of
your
time
If
I
could
grant
you
peace
of
mind
Would
that
be
enough?
Alexander
joins
forces
with
James
Madison
and
John
Jay
to
write
a
series
of
essays
Defending
the
new
United
States
Constitution,
entitled
The
Federalist
Papers
The
plan
was
to
write
a
total
of
twenty-five
essays
The
work
divided
evenly
among
the
three
men
In
the
end,
they
wrote
eighty-five
essays
in
the
span
of
six
months
John
Jay
got
sick
after
writing
five
James
Madison
wrote
twenty-nine
Hamilton
wrote
the
other
FIFTY-ONE!
How
do
you
write
like
you're
Running
out
time
Write
day
and
night
like
you're
Running
out
time
Every
day
you
fight
like
you′re
Running
out
time
Like
you′re
Running
out
time
Are
you
running
out
time?
How
do
you
write
like
tomorrow
won't
arrive?
How
do
you
write
like
you
need
it
to
survive?
How
do
you
write
every
second
you′re
alive
Every
second
you're
alive
Every
second
you′re
alive
They're
asking
me
to
lead
I′m
doing
the
best
I
can
To
get
the
people
that
I
need
I'm
asking
you
to
be
my
right
hand
man
Treasury
or
State?
I
know
it's
a
lot
to
ask—
Treasury
or
State?
To
leave
behind
the
world
you
know—
Sir,
do
you
want
me
to
run
the
Treasury
or
State
Department?
Treasury
Let′s
go
Alexander!
I
