~Wait for it~

Daishou:
Hiroo writes me a letter ev'ry day.
I'm keeping his bed warm while his husband is away.
He's on the British side of Georgia.
He's tryin' to keep the colonies in line.
He can keep all of Georgia.
Hiroo, he's mine.

Love doesn't discriminate
between the sinners
and the saints,
it takes and it takes and it takes
and we keep loving anyway
We laugh and we cry and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
When so many have tried
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it

My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
(Preacher, Preacher, Preacher)
But there are things that the
Homilies and hymns won't teach ya
(Teach ya, Teach ya, Teach ya)
My mother was a genius (Genius)
My father commanded respect (Respect, Respect)
When they died they left no instructions
Just a legacy to protect

Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it

I am the one thing in life I can control
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I am inimitable
I am an original

I'm not falling behind or running late
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
I'm not standing still
I am lying in wait (Wait, wait, wait)

Kuroo faces an endless uphill climb
(Climb, climb, climb)
He has something to prove
He has nothing to lose
(Lose, lose, lose, lose)
Hamilton's pace is relentless
He wastes no time
(Time, time, time)
What is it like in his shoes?

Kuroo doesn't hesitate
He exhibits no restraint
He takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes

And if there's a reason
He seems to thrive when so few survive, then Goddamnit
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it

Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
(And we keep living anyway)
We rise (and we fall)
We fall (and we break)
(And we make our mistakes)
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When so many have died
Then I'm willin' to-

Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it)
Wait for it (Wait for it, wait for it
(Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it)
(Wait)

~Stay Alive~

Kōshi:
Stay alive…

Kōshi/Keiji/Ensemble Woman:
Stay alive...

Kuroo:
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
Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence

Daichi:
The cavalry’s not coming

Kuroo:
Sir!

Daichi:
Tetsu, listen. There’s only one way for us to win this
Provoke outrage, outright

Kuroo:
That’s right

Daichi:
Don’t engage, strike by night
Remain relentless ‘til their troops take flight

Kuroo:
Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight

Daichi:
Outrun

Kuroo:
Outrun

Daichi:
Outlast

Kuroo:
Outlast

Daichi:
Hit ‘em quick, get out fast

Kuroo:
Chick-a-plao!

Daichi:
Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past
We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast

Kuroo/Bokuto/Oikawa:
Raise a glass!

Atsumu:
I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

Oikawa:
I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship

Bokuto:
I stay at work with Hamilton
We write essays against slavery
And every day’s a test of our camaraderie
And bravery

Kuroo:
We cut supply lines, we steal contraband
We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
And ev’ry day
“Sir, entrust me with a command,”
And ev’ry day

Daichi:
No

Kuroo:
He dismisses me out of hand

Kuroo:                                                           Kōshi/Keiji:
Instead of me                                                        Stay alive..

He promotes
Rintāro Suna ([Suna:] Rintāro Suna)
Makes him second-in-command:

Suna:
I'm a General. Whee!

Kuroo:
Yeah. He's not the choice I would have gone with

Kuroo/Bokuto/Oikawa:
He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth

Daichi:
Ev'ryone attack!

Suna:
Retreat!

Daichi:
Attack!

Suna:
Retreat!

Daichi::
What are you doing, Suna? Get back on your feet!

Suna:
But there's so many of them!

Daichi:
I'm sorry, is this not your speed?!
Kuroo!

Kuroo:
Ready, sir!

Daichi::
Have Oikawa take the lead!

Kuroo:
Yes, sir!

Bokuto:
A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat

Oikawa:
As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat

Kuroo:
Rintāro Suna was left behind
Without a pot to piss in
He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen:

Suna:
Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
The best thing he can do for the revolution
Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon

[Company:]
Oo!

Daichi:
Don't do a thing. History will prove him wrong

Kuroo:
But, sir!

Daichi:
We have a war to fight, let's move along

Bokuto:
Strong words from Suna, someone oughta hold him to it

Kuroo:
I can't disobey direct orders

Bokuto:
Then I'll do it
Tetsurou, you're the closest friend I've got

Kuroo:
Bokuto, do not throw away your shot

Bokuto:
If they don't, grab a friend, that's your second

Kuroo:
Your lieutenant when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Company:
Number three!

Suna:
Have your seconds meet face to face

Daishou:
Negotiate a peace…

Kuroo:
Or negotiate a time and place

Daishou:
This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits

Company:
Most disputes die, and no one shoots
Number four!

Bokuto:
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site

Kuroo:
You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility

Have your seconds meet face to face

Daishou:
Negotiate a peace…

Or negotiate a time and place

Number four!

Bokuto:
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright

You have him turn around so he can have deniability

Company:
Five!

Suna:
Duel before the sun is in the sky

Company:
Pick a place to die where it's high and dry
Number six!

Kuroo:
Leave a note for your next of kin
Tell 'em where you been. Pray that hell or heaven lets you in

Company:

Suna:
Confess your sins. Ready for the moment
Of adrenaline when you finally face your opponent

Company:
Number eight!

Bokuto/Suna/Kuroo/Daishou:
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight…

Daishou:
Tetsurou

[Hamilton:]
Suguru Daishou, sir

Daishou:
Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature?

Kuroo:
Sure
But your man has to answer for his words, Daishou

Daishou:
With his life? We both know that's absurd, sir

Kuroo:
Hang on, how many men died because Suna was inexperienced and ruinous?

Daishou:
Okay, so we're doin' this

Company:
Number nine!

Kuroo:
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count

Men:
One two three four

Full Company:
Five six seven eight nine

Company:
Ten paces!

Kuroo/Daishou:
Fire!
