Burr:

After the war, I went back to New York

Alex:

A-after the war, I went back to New York

Burr:

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

Alex:

I practice law, Burr worked next door

Burr:

Even though we started at the very same time

Alexandria Hamilton began to climb

How to account for her rise to the top?

Yeah, the gal is

Burr/Company:

Non-stop

Alex:

Ladies of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me

Are you aware we're making hist'ry

This our first murder trial of our brand new nation

The liberty behind deliberation-

Company:

Non-stop

Alex:

I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

With my assistant counsel-

Burr:

Co-counsel

Hamilton, sit down

Our client Leni Weeks in innocent

Call your first witness

That's all you had to say!

Alex:

Okay!
One more thing-

Burr:

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Soon that attitude will be your doom

Company:

Awwww!

Burr/Company:

Why do you write like you're running out of time

Write day and night like you're running out of time

Ev'ry day you fight like you're running out of time

Keep on fighting in the meantime

Company:

Non-stop

Alex:

Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony

And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany

This colon's economy's increasingly stalling

And honestly, that's why public service seems to be calling me

(Burr/Company: she's just non-stop)

I practiced the law, I practic'ly perfected it

I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it

Now for a strong central democracy

If not then I'll be Socrates

Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities

Company:

Awwww!

Burr:

Hamilton at the constitutional convention

Alex:

I was chosen for the constitutional convention

Burr:

There is a New York Junior delegate

Alex:

Now, what I'm gonna say may sound indelicate

Company:

Awwww!

Burr:

Goes and proposes her own plan of government

(company: what?)

Her own plan for a new form of government

(what)

She talks for six hours! The convention is listless

Man 1:

Right young girl

Man 2:

Yo, who the f is this?

Burr/Company:

Why do you always say what you believe?

Why do you always say what you believe?

Ev'ry proclamation guarantee free ammunition for your enemies

Company:

Awwww!

burr/Company:

Why do you write like it's going out of style

Write day and night like it's going out if style

Ev'ry day you fight like it's coing out of style

Do what you do

Burr:

Alexandria?

Alex:

Asha Burr, Ma'am

Burr:

But it's the middle of the night?

Alex:

Can we confer, Ma'am?

Burr:

Is it a legal matter?

Alex:

Yes, and it's important to me.

Burr:

What do you need?

Alex:

Burr, you're a better lawyer than me

Burr:

Okay?

Alex:

I know I talk to much, I'm abrasive

You're incredible in court

You're succinct persuasive

My client needs a strong defense. You're the solution

Burr:

Who's your client?

Alex:

The new U.S. constitution?

Burr:

No.

Alex:

Hear me out!

Burr:

No way!

Alex:

A series of essays anonymously published

Defending the document of the public

Burr:

No one will real it

Alex:

I disagree

Burr:

And if it fails?

Alex:

Burr, that's why we need it!

Burr:

The constitution's a mess.

Alex:

So it needs amendments

Burr:

It's full of contradictions

Alex:

So is independence

We have to start somewhere

Burr:

No

No way

Alex:

You're making a mistake

Burr:

Goodnight

Alex:

Hey!

What are you waiting for?

What do you stall for?

Burr:

What?

Alex:

We won the war

What was it all for?

Do you support this constitution?

Burr:

Of course

Alex:

Then defend it

Burr:

And what if you're backing the wrong horse?

Alex:

Burr

We studied, and we fought, and we killed

For the notion of a nation we now get to build

For once in your life take a stand with pride

I don't understand how you stand to the side-

Burr:

I'll keep all my plans close to my chest

(wait for it, wait for it, wait)

I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow

I'm taking my time watching the afterbirth of a nation

Watching the tension grow

Angelico:

I am sailing off to London

I am accompanied by someone who always pays

I have found a wealthy wife

Who will keep me in comfort for all my days

She is not a lot of fun, but there is no one who can match you for turn of phrase

My Alexandria

Alex:

Angelico

Angelico:

Don't forget to write

Elijah:

Look at where you are

Look at where you started

The fact that you're alive is a miracle

Just stay alive, that would be enough

And if you don't mind to share a fraction of your time

If i could grant you piece of mind

Would that be enough?

Burr:

Alexandria joins forces with Jamie Madison and Jan Jay to write a series of essays defending the United States Constitution entitled the Federalists Papers. The plan was to write a total os twenty-five essays, the work divided evenly among the three women. In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays in the span of six months. Jan Jay got six after writing five, Jamie Madison wrote twenty-nine, Hamilton wrote the other fifty-one!

Burr/Company:

How do you write like your running ot of time

Write day and night like your running out of time

Ev'ry day you fight like you're running out of time

Like you're running out of time

Are you running out of time

(awwww!)

How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive

How do you write like you need it to survive

How do you write every second your alive

Every second your alive

Every second your alive

Georgia:

They are asking me to lead

I am doing the best I can

To get the people that I need

I'm asking you to be my right-hand woman

Alex:

Treasury of state?

Georgia:

I know it's a lot to ask

Alex:

Treasury or state

Georgia:

To leave behind the world to know-

Alex:

Ma'am do you want me to run the treasury or state department?

Georgia:

Treasury

Alex:

Let's go

Elijah:

Alexandria

Alex:

I have to leave

Elijah:

Alexandria

Alex:

Look around

Look around

At how lucky we are to be alive right now

Elijah:

Helpless

Alex:

They are asking me to lead

Elijah:

Look around isn't this enough?

Elijah/Angelico:

She will never be satisfied

What would be enough

She will never be satisfied(to be satisfied)

Satisfied, satisfied

Burr/Elijah/Washington/Company:

History has it's eyes on you

Look around, look around

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

On you

Isn't this enough

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

(non-stop)

What would be enough?

Burr/Angelico/Company:

He will never be satisfied

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

(non-stop)

Satisfied, satisfied

Burr/Washington/Heracles/Jan/Lafayette/Company:

History has it's eyes

Soon that attitude will be your doom

(non-stop)

On you

Why do you fight like you're running out of time?

Angelico/Elijah/Burr:

Why do you fight like

Company:

History has it's eyes on you

Alex:

I am not throwing away my shot(just you wait)

I am not throwing away my shot(just you wait)

Company:

Alexandria Hamilton

Hamilton, Just you wait!

Alex:

I am not throwing away my shot!
