Hamilton Lyrics

Your Obedient Servant

BURR: How does Hamilton An arrogant Immigrant, orphan Bastard, whoreson Somehow endorse Thomas Jefferson, his enemy A man he's despised since the beginning Just to keep me from winning? I wanna be in the room where it happens

BURR AND COMPANY: The room where it happens The room where it happens

BURR: You've kept me from

BURR AND COMPANY: The room where it happens

BURR: For the last time

Dear Alexander:

I am slow to anger

But I toe the line As I reckon with the effects Of your life on mine I look back on where I failed And in every place I checked The only common thread has been your disrespect Now you call me "amoral," A "dangerous disgrace," If you've got something to say Name a time and place Face to face

I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Burr

HAMILTON: Mr. Vice President:

I am not the reason no one trusts you No one knows what you believe I will not equivocate on my opinion I have always worn it on my sleeve Even if I said what you think I said You would need to cite a more specific grievance Here's an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements

BURR: Sweet Jesus

HAMILTON: Hey, I have not been shy I am just a guy in the public eye Tryin' to do my best for our republic I don't wanna fight But I won't apologize for doing what's right

I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Ham

BURR: Careful how you proceed, good man Intemperate indeed, good man Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or Prepare to bleed, good man

HAMILTON: Burr, your grievance is legitimate I stand by what I said, every bit of it You stand only for yourself It's what you do I can't apologize because it's true

BURR: Then stand, Alexander Weehawken. Dawn Guns. Drawn

HAMILTON: You're on

BURR AND HAMILTON: I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant

HAMILTON: A dot Ham

BURR: A dot Burr
