Before the song could begin, Chaos paused the musical.
"Everybody who fought in the war should find someone who can comfort them and take a blanket if that helps." Chaos said, pointing to a stack of newly formed blankets then unpausing the musical.
[COMPANY:]
British Admiral Howe's got troops on the water
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
[ENSEMBLE 1 (ENSEMBLE 2):]
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
(Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor)
"Wow, that's a lot." Peggy remarked.
When they surround our troops!
(They surround our troops!)
When they surround our troops!
[HAMILTON:]
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war
"Why would you wish for something that will kill thousands of people?" Eliza asked her husband.
"This song will probably explain it." He replied simply.
I knew that I was poor
I knew it was the only way to
[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:]
Rise up!
[HAMILTON:]
If they tell my story
I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or
"No, you will die at home years from now from old age." Eliza said, wrapping her arms around her husband and frowning at how dark some of his thoughts where.
[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:]
Rise up!
[HAMILTON:]
I will fight for this land
But there's only one man
Who can give us a command so we can—
[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:]
Rise up
[HAMILTON:]
Understand? It's the only way to
[HAMILTON/BURR/MULLIGAN/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE:]
Rise up! Rise up!
[HAMILTON:]
Here he comes!
[ENSEMBLE:]
Here comes the General!
"Oh no..." George Washington muttered, knowing what was going to happen.
[BURR:]
Ladies and gentlemen!
[ENSEMBLE:]
Here comes the General!
[BURR:]
The moment you've been waiting for!
[ENSEMBLE:]
Here comes the General!
"This really isn't necessary." George muttered.
"If I may, you deserve it sir." Hamilton said, seeing how unconfutable the genral was.
With that murmurs of agreement broke out everywhere in the room.
[BURR:]
The pride of Mount Vernon!
[ENSEMBLE:]
Here comes the General!
[BURR:]
George Washington!
[WASHINGTON (ENSEMBLE):]
We are outgunned (What?)
Outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered
Outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
"What is it with this musical and its weird sounds?" Angelica asked to no one in particular.
We gotta make an all-out stand
Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
[WASHINGTON:]
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?
With that line all of the soldiers started listening intently, the General never let his guard down, especially around them.
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
Writin' letters to relatives
Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go...
[ENSEMBLE:]
Boom!
With that sound piercing the air all of the solders flinched, now knowing why Chaos had made that announcement.
[WASHINGTON:]
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
