And when our children tell our story… And when our children tell our story… They’ll tell the story of tonight
Let’s have another round tonight Let’s have another round tonight Let’s have another round tonight
Raise a glass to freedom Something they can never take away No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us Tomorrow there’ll be more of us Telling the story of tonight They’ll tell the story of tonight
Raise a glass to freedom Something they can never take away No matter what they tell you Let’s have another round tonight

There’s nothing rich folks love more Than going downtown and slummin’ it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk At the students in the common Just to watch them talk
Take Philip Schuyler: the man is loaded Uh-oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at—
Work, work! Angelica! Work, work! Eliza! And Peggy! Work, work! The Schuyler sisters! Angelica! Peggy! Eliza! Work!
Daddy said to be home by sundown Daddy doesn’t need to know Daddy said not to go downtown Like I said, you’re free to go
But—look around, look around, the Revolution’s happening in New York New York Angelica Work!
It’s bad enough daddy wants to go to war People shouting in the square Bad enough there’ll be violence on our shore New ideas in the air
Look around, look around— Angelica, remind me what we’re looking for… She’s lookin’ for me! Eliza, I’m lookin’ for a mind at work
I’m lookin’ for a mind at work! I’m lookin’ for a mind at work! (Work, work!) Whooaaaaa! (Work, work!) Whooaaaaa! Work! Work!
Wooh! There’s nothin’ like summer in the city Someone in a rush next to someone lookin’ pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny But your perfume smells like your daddy’s got money
Why you slummin’ in the city in your fancy heels You searchin for an urchin who can give you ideals?
Burr, you disgust me Ah, so you’ve discussed me I’m a trust fund, baby, you can trust me!
I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation So listen to my declaration:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident That all men are created equal”
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson Unh! I’m ‘a compel him to include women in the sequel! Work!
Look around, look around at how Lucky we are to be alive right now! Look around, look around at how Lucky we are to be alive right now!
History is happening in Manhattan and we just happen to be In the greatest city in the world!
In the greatest city in the world! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury And I present “Free Thoughts on the Proceedings of the Continental Congress!”
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution They have not your interests at heart Oh my God. Tear this dude apart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution Don’t let them lead you astray This Congress does not speak for me Let him be
They’re playing a dangerous game I pray the king shows you his mercy For shame, for shame… Yo!
He’d have you all unravel at the (Heed not the rabble) Sound of screams but the (Who scream) Revolution is comin’ (Revolution, they)
The have-nots are gonna (Have not your) Win this (Interests) It’s hard to listen to you with a straight face (At heart)
Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us, honestly you shouldn’t even talk.
And what about Boston? Look at the cost, n’ all that we’ve lostn’ you talk About Congress?! (Chaos and bloodshed are) (Not a)
My dog speaks more eloquently than thee! (Solution. Don’t) Let them lead you But strangely, your mange is the same (Astray)
This Congress does not Speak for me Is he in Jersey?
For the revolution! (They’re playing a dangerous game) I pray the king shows you his mercy For shame For shame,
For the revolution! Heed— If you repeat yourself again I’m gonna— Scream— Honestly, look at me, please don’t read! Not your interests—
Don’t modulate the key then not debate with me! Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?
Alexander, please! Burr, I’d rather be divisive than indecisive, drop the niceties Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King! A message from the King!
You say The price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You cry In your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see me go by
Why so sad? Remember we made an arrangement when you went away Now you’re making me mad Remember, despite our estrangement, I’m your man
You’ll be back, soon you’ll see You’ll remember you belong to me You’ll be back, time will tell You’ll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da…
You say our love is draining and you can’t go on You’ll be the one complaining when I am gone...
And no, don’t change the subject Cuz you’re my favorite subject My sweet, submissive subject My loyal, royal subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever… You’ll be back like before I will fight the fight and win the war
For your love, for your praise And I’ll love you till my dying days When you’re gone, I’ll go mad So don’t throw away this thing we had
Cuz when push comes to shove I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat— Everybody!
Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da da da da Dat dat da ya da!
British Admiral Howe’s got troops on the water Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor
Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor Thirty-two thousand troops in New York harbor When they surround our troops!
They surround our troops! When they surround our troops! (They surround our troops!) They surround our troops!
As a kid in the Caribbean I wished for a war I knew that I was poor I knew it was the only way to— Rise up!
If they tell my story I am either gonna die on the battlefield in glory or— Rise up! I will fight for this land
But there’s only one man Who can give us a command so we can— Rise up! Understand? It’s the only way to— Rise up! Rise up! Here he comes!
Here comes the General! Ladies and gentlemen! Here comes the General! The moment you’ve been waiting for!
Here comes the General! The pride of Mount Vernon! Here comes the General! George Washington!
We are outgunned What? Outmanned What? Outnumbered Outplanned Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
We gotta make an all out stand Ayo, I’m gonna need a right-hand man. Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!
Check it— Can I be real a second? For just a millisecond? Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I’m the model of a modern major general The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin’ letters to relatives Embellishin’ my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go… Boom!
Any hope of success is fleeting How can I keep leading when the people I’m Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as the British take Brooklyn Knight takes rook, but look We are outgunned What? Outmanned What?
Outnumbered Outplanned Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck! We gotta make an all out stand Ayo, I’m gonna need a right-hand man
Incoming! (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!) They’re battering down the Battery check the damages Rah!
We gotta stop ‘em and rob ‘em of their advantages Rah! Let’s take a stand with the stamina God has granted us Hamilton won’t abandon ship
Yo, let’s steal their cannons— Shh-boom! (Boom!) Goes the cannon, watch the blood and the shit spray and…
Boom! Goes the cannon, we’re abandonin’ Kips Bay and… Boom! There’s another ship and… Boom! We just lost the southern tip and… Boom!
We gotta run to Harlem quick, we can’t afford another slip Guns and horses giddyup
I decide to divvy up My forces, they’re skittish as the British cut the city up
This close to giving up, facing mad scrutiny I scream in the face of this mass mutiny: Are these the men with which I am to defend America?

We’re gonna rise up! Time to take a shot! (Not throwing away my shot) We’re gonna rise up! Time to take a shot!

We’re gonna (Not throwing away my shot) We’re gonna Rise up! Rise up! Time to take a shot! Rise up! Rise up!

Time to take a shot! Time to take a shot! Rise up! Take a shot! Shot! (Rise up!) Shot!

A-yo it’s (Ri— ri— ri—) Time to take a shot! Time to take a shot!

And I am— (Time to take a shot!) Time to take a shot! And I am— Not throwin’ away my— Not throwin’ away my shot!

I may not live to see our glory! I may not live to see our glory! But I will gladly join the fight! But I will gladly join the fight!
