[Burr]
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
[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
