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 Sometimes that's how it goes Daddy's gonna find out any minute I'm sure he already knows Further down Further down Let's meet the newest senator from New York New York Our senator Burr? Since when are you a Democratic Republican? Since being one put me on the up and up again No one knows who you are or what you do They don't need to know me They don't like you Excuse me? Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great You'll always be adored by the things you create But upstate Wait People think you're crooked Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it I've always considered you a friend I don't see why that has to end You changed parties to run against my father in law 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 (amazing transition) Cabinet Battle #2 The issue on the table: France is on the verge of war with England. Now do provide aid and troops to our French allies? Or do we stay out of it? Remember, my decision on this matter Is not subject to congressional approval. The only person you have to convince is me. Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor sir. When we were on death's door when we were needy We made a promise, we signed a treaty. We needed money and guns and half a chance, Uhh who provided those funds? (France) In return they didn't ask for land, Only the promise that we'd lend a hand And stand with them if they fought against oppressors And revolution is messy but now is the time to stand. Stand with our brothers as they fight against tyranny. I know that Alexander Hamilton is here And he would rather not have this debate. I remind you that he is not Secretary of State! He knows nothing of loyalty. (nothing) Smells like new money Dresses like fake royalty. Desperate to rise above his station. Everything he does betrays the ideals our nation. Hey, and if you don't know now you know Mr. President. Thank you Secretary Jefferson Secretary Hamilton your response. You must be out of your G-DD-MNED mind If you think The president is gonna bring the nation to the brink Of meddling in the middle of a military mess A game of chess Where France is queen and king-less We've signed a treaty with a king Who's head is now in a basket Would you like to take it out and ask it? "Oh should we honor our treaty King Louis head?" Uh do whatever you want, I'm super dead! Enough! Enough! Hamilton is right (Mr. President) We're too fragile to start another fight (But sir do we not fight for freedom) Sure, when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em. (The people are leading!) The people are rioting, there's a difference Frankly it's a little disquieting You would let your ideals blind you to reality Hamilton? (Sir) Draft the statement of neutrality. Did you forget Lafayette? (What?) Have you an ounce of regret? You accumulate debt, you accumulate power Yet in their hour of need you forget. Lafayette's a smart man he'll be fine, And before he was your friend he was mine. If we try to fight in every revolution in the world We never stop, where do we draw the line? So quick witted Alas, I admit it I bet you were quite a lawyer My defendants got aquitted Yeah, well someone oughtta remind you (What?) You're nothing without Washington behind you. (Hamilton) Daddy's calling
