The issue on the table
Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank
Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor sir
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
We fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less
These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em
Don't act surprised, you guys, 'cause I wrote 'em

Owwww but Hamilton forgets
His plan would have the government assume state debts
Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid
Don't tax the South 'cause we got it made in the shade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
We create, you just wanna move our money around

This financial plan is an outrageous demand and it's too many damn pages for any man to understand!
Stand with me in the land of the free and pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation
Would you like to join us, or stay mellow
Doin' whatever the h*** it is you do in Monticello?

If we assume the debts the union gets new line of credit a financial diuretic how do you not get it?
If we're aggressive and competitive
The union gets a boost, you'd rather give it a sedative?
A civics lesson from a slaver, hey neighbor
Your debts are paid 'cause you don't pay for labor
"We plant seeds in the South. We create." Yeah, keep ranting
We know who's really doing the planting

And another thing mr age of enlightenment don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it.
You think I'm frightened of you man we almost died in the trench, while you were off getting hot with the french!
Ah, winning was easy, young man, governing's harder!
They're being intransigent.
You have to find a compromise.
But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine!
And what happens if I don't get congressional approval?
I imagine they'll call for your removal
Sir
Figure it out, Alexander, that's an order from your commander
Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.
Why he even brings the thunder!
You wanna pull yourself together?
I'm sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather.
Young man, I'm from Virginia, so watch your mouth!
So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?
