[Eliza:]
Stay alive...

[Eliza/Angelica/Ensemble women:]

Stay alive...

[Hamilton:]

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

"It was that bad?" King George asked in shock.

"Oh yeah, it was probably our lowest point." Washington responded.

Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance

They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence

"Wow, James, you never told me it was this bad." Thomas exclaimed to his friend

"I didn't want to talk about it." He replied simply.

[Washington:]

The cavalry's not coming

[Hamilton:]

But, sir!

[Washington:]

Alex, listen. There's only one way for us to win this

Provoke outrage, outright

[Hamilton:]

That's right

[Washington:]

Don't engage, strike by night

Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight
