How does hamilton
An arrogant
Immigrant, orphan
Bastard, whoreson
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

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
