It's hard to listen to you with a straight face (at heart)
Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us (chaos and bloodshed are not a)
Honestly, you shouldn't even talk (solution)

Look at the cost, n' all that we've lost n' you talk (lead you astray)
About Congress? (this Congress does not speak for me)

Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?

Alexander, please
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive, drop the niceties

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (hey, hey, hey)
I do, I do, I do, I do (hey, hey, hey)
Hey (hey, hey)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh (hey, hey, hey)
I do, I do, I do, I do (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Boy, you got me helpless
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room
Then you walked in, and my heart went "boom"
Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sister and whisper, "Yo, this one's mine"
My sister made her way across the room to you (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I got nervous, thinking, "What's she gonna do" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinking "I'm through" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Then you look back at me, and suddenly I'm helpless
Oh, look at those eyes, oh (look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit)
I'm helpless, I know (down for the count and I'm drowning in 'em)
I am so into you
(Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit) I am so into you, I'm helpless
(I know) I'm down for the count, and I'm drowning in 'em
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
Then by all means, lead the way
Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you
Schuyler? My sister
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I'll leave you to it
One week later, I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister 'cause she wants to form a harem
I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him (ha!)
Two weeks later, in the living room stressin'
My father's stone-faced while you ask him for his blessin'
I'm dying inside as you wine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry, 'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
My father makes his way across the room to you (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I panic for a second, thinking we're through (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
But then he shakes your hand and says, "Be true" (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
And you turn back to me smiling
I'm helpless (I'm)
(Look into your eyes, and the skys the limit)
I'm helpless (helpless)
(Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em) (Whoo! Helpless) that boy is mine, that boy is mine
Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
I'm helpless (helpless, whoo!)
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em (yuh)
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have is my honor, a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
Peggy confides in me
Angelica tried to take a bite of me
No stress, my love for you was never in doubt
We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
As long as I'm alive, Eliza, swear to god you'll never feel so
I do, I do, I do, I do
Eliza, I do, I do, I do, I do (helpless)
I never felt so (helpless)
Yeah, yeah
Down for the count and I'm drownin' in 'em (I'm down for a count and I'm...)
Yo, my live is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it (helpless)
I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit, I'm (helpless)
Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em
In New York, you can be a new man
In New York, you can be a new man
In New York, you can be a new man (helpless)

Ah, Mr. Secretary!
Mr. Burr, 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 try
Heh
And 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 Madison and Jefferson are merciless
Well, hate the sin love the sinner
Hamilton!
I'm sorry Burr I gotta go
But decisions are happening over dinner
Two Virginians 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
Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day in distress and disarray
Alexander said, "I've nowhere else to turn"
And basically begged me to join the fray
I approached Madison 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
Madison 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
Jefferson approaches with the dinner invite
Madison responds with Virginian insight
Maybe we could solve one problem with another
And win a victory for the Southerners
In other words
Ho ho
A quid pro quo
I 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 New York City 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 U.S. 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 Burr? (What do you want Burr?)
What do you want Burr? (What do you want Burr?)
If you stand for nothing then what'll you fall for? (What do you want Burr?)
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

It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
Every action has an equal opposite reaction
Thanks to Hamilton, our cabinet's fractured into factions
Try not to crack under the stress, we're breaking down like fractions
We smack each other in the press, and we don't print retractions
I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion
The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion
Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration
As Wall Street robs 'em blind in search of chips to cash in
This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task
Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask
So we can, at last, unmask him
I'll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it
While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
Look back at the Bill of Rights (Which I wrote!)
The ink hasn't dried
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
So he's doubled the size of the government
Wasn't the trouble with much of our previous government size?
Look in his eyes
See how he lies
Follow the scent of his enterprise
Centralizing national credit and making American credit competitive
If we don't stop it, we aid and abet it
I have to resign
Somebody has to stand up for the South
Well, somebody has to stand up to his mouth
If there's a fire you're trying to douse
You can't put it out from inside the house
I'm in the cabinet, I am complicit
And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it
If Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents
This is the difference, this kid is out
Oh! This immigrant isn't somebody we chose
Oh! This immigrant's keeping us all on our toes
Oh! Let's show these Federalists what they're up against
Oh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-Republicans
Oh! Now follow the money and see where it goes
Oh! Because every second, the treasury grows
Oh! If we follow the money and see where it leads
Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds
It must be nice, it must be nice
Follow the money and see where it goes
It must be nice, it must be nice
The emperor has no clothes
We won't be invisible
We won't be denied
Still, it must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side

Mister Vice President
Mister Madison
Senator Burr
What is this?
We have the check stubs, from separate accounts
Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts
To a Mister James Reynolds way back in
Seventeen ninety-one
Is that what you have, are you done?
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
Though 'virtue' is not a word I'd apply to this situation
To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission
And the evidence suggests you've engaged in speculation
An immigrant embezzling our government funds
I can almost see the headline, your career is done
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from
Ha you don't even know what you're asking me to confess
Confess
You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless
Unless
If I can prove that I never touched my balls
Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
No one else was in the room where it happened
Is that a yes?
Um, yes
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me, down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to
What
She courted me
Escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
That's when Reynolds extorted me
For a sordid fee
I paid him quarterly
I may have mortally wounded my prospects
But my papers are orderly
As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkered history
Check it again against your list n' see consistency
I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
Yes, I have reasons for shame
But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?
My God
Gentlemen, let's go
So?
The people won't know what we know
Burr
How do I know you won't use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?
Alexander, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
spot in the Caribbean by Providence impoverished in squalor
grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
The Ten dollar, founding father without a father
got a lot farther by working a lot harder
by being a lot smarter by being a self-starter
by fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside he was longing for something to be a part of
the brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter
Then a hurricane came and devastation rained
our man saw his future drip-dripping down the drain
put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain
and he wrote his first refrain a testament to his pain
Well the word got around they said this kid is insane man
took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education don't forget from whence you came. And the world is gonna know your name.
What's ya name, man?
Alexander Hamilton.
My name is Alexander Hamilton.
And there's a million things I haven't done.
But just you wait, just you, wait.
When he was 10, his father split
Full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother, bed-ridden
Half-dead, sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
And Alex got better but his mother went quick
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride
Somethin' new inside
A voice saying Alex, you gotta fend for yourself
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
There would've been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
He would've been dead and destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and other things he can't afford
Scannin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future, see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man (x4) In New York (New York) Just you wait (x3)
Alexander Hamilton
We are waiting in the weeds for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Alexander Hamilton
America Sings for you
Do they know what you overcame
Do they know you control your name
The world will never be the same, oh
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him
Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him
We, fought with him
Me, I died for him
Me, I trusted him
Me, I loved him
And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him
There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait
Whats ya name man?
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
