Loading...

[burr]
how does hamilton
an arrogant
immigrant, orphan
b-st-rd, wh-r-son
somehow endorse
thomas jefferson, his enemy
a man he’s despised since the beginning
just to keep me from winning?
i wanna be in the room where it happens—

[burr and company]
the room where it happens
the room where it happens

[burr]
you’ve kept me from—

[burr and company]
the room where it happens

[burr]
for the last time

dear alexander:

i am slow to anger
but i toe the line
as i reckon with the effects
of your life on mine
i look back on where i failed
and in every place i checked
the only common thread has been your disrespect
now you call me “amoral,”
a “dangerous disgrace,”
if you’ve got something to say
name a time and place
face to face

i have the honor to be your obedient servant
a dot burr

[hamilton]
mr. vice president:

i am not the reason no one trusts you
no one knows what you believe
i will not equivocate on my opinion
i have always worn it on my sleeve
even if i said what you think i said
you would need to cite a more specific grievance
here’s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements

[burr]
sweet jesus

[hamilton]
hey, i have not been shy
i am just a guy in the public eye
tryin’ to do my best for our republic
i don’t wanna fight
but i won’t apologize for doing what’s right

i have the honor to be your obedient servant
a dot ham

[burr]
careful how you proceed, good man
intemperate indeed, good man
answer for the accusations i lay at your feet or
prepare to bleed, good man

[hamilton]
burr, your grievance is legitimate
i stand by what i said, every bit of it
you stand only for yourself
it’s what you do
i can’t apologize because it’s true

[burr]
then stand, alexander
weehawken. dawn
guns. drawn

[hamilton]
you’re on

[burr and hamilton]
i have the honor to be your obedient servant

[hamilton]
a dot ham

[burr]
a dot burr
