Lin-Manuel Miranda Lyrics
Schuyler Defeated Lyrics
[PHILIP:]
Look!
Grandpa's in the paper!
"War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr"�
Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate
[ELIZA:]
Sometimes that's how it goes
[PHILIP:]
Daddy's gonna find out any minute
[ELIZA:]
I'm sure he already knows
[PHILIP:]
Further down
[PHILIP & ELIZA:]
Further down
[PHILIP:]
Let's meet the newest senator from New York
[ELIZA:]
New York
[PHILIP & ELIZA:]
Our senator
[HAMILTON:]
Burr?
Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
[BURR:]
Since being one put me on the up and up again
[HAMILTON:]
No one knows who you are or what you do
[BURR:]
They don't need to know me
They don't like you
[HAMILTON:]
Excuse me?
[BURR:]
Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great
You'll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate
[HAMILTON:]
Wait
[BURR:]
People think you're crooked
Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it
[HAMILTON:]
I've always considered you a friend
[BURR:]
I don't see why that has to end
[HAMILTON:]
You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
[BURR:]
I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
I swear your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall
