Hamilton

Ah, Mr. secretary!
Mr. Burr, sir.
Did you hear the news about good old General Mercer?

No,
You know Clermont street
Yeah
They renamed it after him, the Mercer legacy is secure

Sure
And all he had to do was die
And that's a lot less work!
We ought to give it a try
heh

And how you gonna get your debt plan through?
I guess I'm gonna have to finally listen to you.
Really?
Talk less, smile more
Haha!
Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the congress floor
Now Madison and Jefferson are merciless
Well, hate the sin love the sinner
Hamilton!
I'm sorry Burr I gotta go
But decisions are happening over dinner
Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room
Diametrically opposed
Foes
They emerge with a compromise
Having open doors that were previously closed
Bros
The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power
A system he can shape however he wants
The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital
And here's the pièce de résistance
No one else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in the room where it happens
Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day in distress and disarray
Alexander said, "I've nowhere else to turn"
And basically begged me to join the fray
I approached Madison and said
"I know you hate him but let's hear what he has to say"
Well, I arranged the meeting
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating
But
No one else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened
No one else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

No one really knows how the parties get to yes
The pieces that get sacrificed in every game of chess
We just assume that it happens
But no one else was in the room where it happens
