After the war
I went back to New York
A-After the war
I went back to New York
I finished up my studies
and I practiced law
I practiced law
Burr worked 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 hist'ry
This is the first murder trial
of our brand-new nation
The liberty behind deliberation-
Non-stop
I intend to prove beyond
a shadow of a doubt
With my assistant council-
Co- council
Hamilton sit down
Our client Levi Weeks is innocent
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
Soon that attitude
may be your doom
Why do you write
like you're running out of time
Write day and night
like you're running out of time
Ev'ry day you fight
like you're running out of time
Keep on fighting in the meantime
Non-stop
Corruption's such and old song
that we sing along in harmony
And nowhere is it stronger
than in Albany
This colony's economy's
increasingly stalling
And honestly
that's why public service
seems to be calling me
He's just Non-stop
I practiced the law
I practic'ly 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 mediocraties
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
He goes and proposes his own
form of government What
his own plan for a new form
of government What
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
Ev'ry proclomation guarantees
free ammunition for your enemies
Why do you write
like it's going out of style
Write day and night
like it's going out of style
Ev'ry day you fight
like it's going out of style
Do 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
A 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
Goodnight
Hey
What're 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 and we 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 wait
I'll wait here and see which way
the wind will blow
I'm taking my time watching
the afterbirth of a nation
Watching the tension grow
I am sailing off to London
I'm 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 write
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you're alive
is a miracle
Just 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 twenty-five essays
the work divided evenly
among the three men
In the end they wrote
eighty-five essays
in the span of six months
John Jay got sick
after writing five
James Madison wrote twenty-nine
Hamilton wrote
the other fifty-one
How do you write
like you're running out of time
Write day and night
like you're running out of time
Ev'ry 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 write
like tomorrow won't arrive
How do you write
like you need it to survive
How do you write
ev'ry second you're alive
Ev'ry second you're alive
Ev'ry second you're alive
They are asking me to lead
I am 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
Helpless
They are asking me to lead
Look around isn't this enough
He will never be satisfied
What would be enough to be
He will never be satisfied
Satisfied
Satisfied
History has it's eyes on you
He will never be satisfied
satisfied satisfied
Look around Look around
Isn't this enough
What would be enough
History has its eyes on you
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
Soon that attitude's gonna be
your doom
Why do you fight
like you're running out of time
Why do you fight like
History has its eyes on you
I am not throwin' away my shot
Just you wait
I am not throwin' away my shot
Just you wait
I am Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton Hamilton
just you wait
I am not throwin' away my shot
