Hamilton An American Musical - Schuyler Defeated Lyrics

[Phillip]
Look!
Grandpa's in the paper!
"War hero Philip Schuyler
loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr"
Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate

[Eliza]
Sometimes that's how it goes

[Phillip]
Daddy's gonna find out any minute

[Eliza]
I'm sure he already knows

[Phillip]
Further down

[Phillip & Eliza]
Further down

[Phillip]
Let's meet the newest senator from New York

[Eliza]
New York

[Phillip & Eliza]
Our senator

[Hamilton]
Burr?
Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?

[Burr]
Since being one put me on the up and up again

[Hamilton]
No one knows who you are or what you do

[Burr]
They don't need to know me
They don't like you

[Hamilton]
Excuse me?

[Burr]
Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate

[Hamilton]
Wait

[Burr]
people think you're crooked
Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it

[Hamilton]
I've always considered you a friend

[Burr]
I don't see why that has to end

[Hamilton]
You changed parties to run against my father-in-law

[Burr]
I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
I swear your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall
