Letra da música

After the war I went back to New York After the war I went back to New York I finished up my studies and I practiced law I practiced law burr work next door Even though we started at the very same time Alexander Hamilton began to climb How to account for his rise to the top Man the man is non stop Gentlemen of the jury I'm curious bear with me Are you aware that we're making history This is the first murder trial of our brand The foundation the liberty behind the liberation I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt with my assistant counsel Co counsel Hamilton sit down a client every week's his innocence Call your first witness that's all you had to say Okay one more thing 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 Assume that attitude may be your doom Why do you ride like you're running out of time Ride day and night like you're running out of time Every day you fight like you're running out of time Spawn fighting in the meantime Non stop Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany It's colonies economies increasingly stalling And honestly that's why public service seems to be calling it non stop I practiced the law practically 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 I was Hamilton at the Constitutional Convention I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention There is a New York Junior Delegate Now what I'm gonna say may sound indelicate The new Chosen proposes his own form of government His own plan for a new form of government Talks for six hours the convention is listless Bright young man Yo who the F is this Why do you always say what you believe Why do you always say what you believe Every proclamation guaranteed 3D ammunition for your enemies Why do you write like it's going out of style Why do you deny like it's going out of style Every day you fight like it's going out of style Fool what you do Alexander Aaron Burr sir Well it's the middle of the night Can we confer sir Is this a legal matter Yes and it's important to me What do you need Burr you're a better lawyer than me Okay I know I talk too much I'm abrasive You're incredible in court You're succinct persuasive My client needs a strong defense You're the solution Who's your client The new U S Constitution No Hear me out No way Series of essays anonymously published Defending the document to the public No one will read it I disagree And if it fails Burr that's why we need it The Constitution's a mess So it needs amendments It's full of contradictions So is independence We have to start somewhere No no way You're making a mistake Good night Hey what are you waiting for What do you stall for What We won the war what was it all for Do you support this Constitution Of course Then defend it And what if you're backing the wrong horse Burr we studied and we fought 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 I'll keep all my plans close to my chest Wait for it wait for it I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow I'm taking my time Watching half the birth of a nation Watching the tension I am sailing off to London I am accompanied by someone who always pays I have found a wealthy husband Who will keep me in comfort for all my days He is not a lot of fun But there's no one who can match you For turn of phrase my Alexander Angelica Don't forget to rise Look at where you are Look at where you started The fact that you're alive is a miracle To stay alive that would be enough And if your wife could share a fraction of your time If I could grant you peace of mind Would that be enough Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays defending the new United States Constitution entitled The Federalist Papers The plan was to write a total of 25 essays the work divided evenly among the three men In the end they wrote 85 essays in the span of six months John Jay got sick after writing five James Madison wrote 29 Hamilton wrote the other 51 How do you ride like you're running out of time Right day and night Like you're running out of time Every day you fight like you're running out of time Like you're running out of time Are you running out of time How do you ride like tomorrow won't arrive How do you ride like you needed to survive How would you ride every second you're alive Every second you're alive Every second you're alive They're asking me to lead I'm doing the best I can To get the people that I need I'm asking you to be my right hand man Treasury or state I know it's a lot to ask Treasury or state To leave behind the world you know Sir do you want me to run the Treasury or State Department Treasury Let's go Alexander I have to leave Alexander Look around look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now Help me They're asking me to leave Look around Is this enough He will never be satisfied He will never be satisfied Satisfied Satisfied History has shown Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied Satisfied History has its eyes on you I am not throwing away my shot I am not throwing away my shot I am Alexander Hamilton Hamilton Just you wait I am not throwing away my shot
