Odd1sout: An Animator musical

Room Were It Happens

Ah, Mr. Secretary!Mr. YT, sir Did you hear the news about good old General Mercer?No You know Claremont street?Yeah They renamed it after him
The Mercer legacy is secure Sure And all he had to do is die And that's a lot less work!We ought to give it a tryHehAnd how you gonna get your debt plan through?I guess I'm gonna have to finally listen to you.Really?Talk less, smile more Haha!Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the congress floor Now LavenderTowne and Sawtooth Waves are merciless Well, hate the sin love the sinner TheOdd1sout!I'm sorry YT I gotta go
But decisions are happening over dinner Two Amino's and an immigrant walk into a room Diametrically opposed
Foes They emerge with a compromise
Having open 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 TheOdd1sout was on Tabbes's doorstep one day in distress and disarray TheOdd1sout said, "I've nowhere else to turn"
And basically begged me to join the fray I approached LavenderTowne and said
"I know you hate him but let's hear what he has to say"Well, I arranged the meeting
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating But
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 parties get to "Yes"
The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
We just assume that it happens
But no else is in the room where it happens LavenderTowne is grappling with the fact
That not every issue can be settled by committee Congress is fighting over where to put the capital It isn't pretty
Waves approaches with the dinner invite
LavenderTowne responds with Amino insight Maybe we could solve one problem with another
And win a victory for the Southerners
In other words Ho ho A quid pro quoI suppose Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home?Actually, I would Well, I propose the Potomac And you'll provide him his votes?Well, we'll see how it goes Let's go 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 My God, In God We Trust
But we never really know what got discussed
Click boom! Then it happened
But no one else was in the room where it happened What did they say to you to get you to sell YouTube down the river Did Washington know about the dinner
Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?Or did you know even then it doesn't matter where you put the YouTube capital?Cause we'll have the banks, we're in the same spot You got more than you gave And I wanted what I got
When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game
But you don't get a win unless you play in the game
Oh, you get love for it
You get hate for it
But you get nothing if you God help and forgive me
I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me What do you want YT? (What do you want YT?)
What do you want YT? (What do you want YT?)
If you stand for nothing then what'll you fall for? (What do you want YT?)I, I wanna be in the room where it happens
The room where it happens
I wanna be in the room where it happens
The room where it happens
I (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
The room where it happens I (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
The room where it happens I wanna be in the room where it happens (Oh)
The room where it happens
The room where it happens (I wanna be in the room)I wanna be in the room where it happens (I've got to be, I've got to be)
The room where it happens (Oh)
The room where it happens (That big old room, oh)The art of the compromise Hold your nose and close your eyes We want our leaders to save the day But we don't get a say in what they trade away We dream of a brand new start But we dream in the dark for the most part Dark as a tomb where it happens I've got to be in the room (room where it happens)I gotta be (the room where it happens)
I gotta be (the room where it happens)
I've got to be in the room (the room where it happens)
I gotta be, I gotta be, gotta be (the room where it happens)
In the room (I wanna be in the room where it happens)Click, boom
