After the war I went back to New York
A-after the war I went back to New York
I finished my studies and I practiced law
I practiced law, Burr worked next door
Our lives really are intertwined aren't they? Hamilton thought with a small smile, all he could muster after the knowledge of his best friend's death.
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
He really did throw himself into his work, didn't he? Eliza thought sadly. I bet he wouldn't do that if I were his wife.
Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me
Are you aware that we're making hist'ry?
This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind deliberation (Non-stop!)
I intend 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-
"My god," Burr groaned as Hamilton gave a weak chuckle.
Why do yo assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do yo assume you're the smartest in the room?
Why do yo assume you're the smartest in the room?
Soon that attitude may be your doom!
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
He's not wrong, Angelica shrugged.
This colony's economy's increasingly stalling and
Honestly that's why public services seems (he's just)
To be calling me (Non-stop!)
I practiced law, I practically 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
"It's always violence with you, isn't it?" Laurens chuckled. Hamilton and Washington looked at him before Laurens pointedly looked away, remembering what they were talking about.
Hamilton, at the Constitutional Convention
I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention
There as a New York junior delegate
Now what I'm going to say may sound indelicate
Goes and proposes his own form of government (What?)
"What?" Mulligan exclaimed in shock.
His own plan for a new form of government (What?)
"What, mon ami?" Lafayette asked with wide eyes.
Talks for six hours,
"No surprise there," Washington, Laurens, Mulligan, Lafayette, and Burr said simultaneously. Hamilton pouted.
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 (Awww!)
Why do you write like it's going out of style? (Hey)
To survive.
Why do you write like it's going out of style? (Hey)
