[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
