Ah, Mister Secretary
Mister Burr, sir
Did'ya hear the news about good old General Mercer
No
You know Clermont Street
Yeah
They renamed it after him, the Mercer legacy is secure
Sure
And all he had to do was die
That's a lot less work
We oughta give it a try
Ha
Now how're you gonna get your debt plan through
I guess I'm gonna fin'ly have to listen to you
Really
Talk less, smile more
Ha
Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor
Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless
Well, hate the sin, love the sinner
Hamilton
I'm sorry Burr, I've gotta go
But
Decisions are happening over dinner
Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room
Diametric'ly opposed, foes
They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were
Previously closed
Bros
The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power
A system he can shape however he wants
The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital
And here's the pièce de résistance
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens
Thomas claims
Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day
In distress 'n disarray
Thomas claims
Alexander said
I've nowhere else to turn
And basic'ly begged me to join the fray
Thomas claims
I approached Madison and said
I know you hate 'im, but let's hear what he has to say
