Lyric
|
After
|
the
|
war
|
I
|
went
|
back
|
to
|
New
|
York.
|
A-
|
after
|
the
|
war
|
I
|
went
|
back
|
to
|
New
|
York.
|
I
|
finished
|
up
|
my
|
studies
|
and
|
I
|
practiced
|
law.
|
I
|
practiced
|
law,
|
Burr
|
worked
|
next
|
door.
|
Even
|
though
|
we
|
started
|
at
|
the
|
very
|
same
|
time
|
Alexander
|
Hamilton
|
began
|
to
|
climb.
|
How
|
to
|
account
|
for
|
his
|
rise
|
to
|
the
|
top?
|
Maaaaan,
|
the
|
man
|
is
|
non-stop!
|
Gentleman
|
of
|
the
|
jury,
|
I'm
|
curious,
|
bear
|
with
|
me.
|
Are
|
you
|
aware
|
that
|
we're
|
making
|
history?
|
This
|
is
|
the
|
first
|
murder
|
|
Lyric
|
trail
|
of
|
our
|
brand-new
|
nation.
|
The
|
liberty
|
behind
|
Deliberation-
|
Non-stop!
|
I
|
intend
|
to
|
prove
|
beyond
|
a
|
shadow
|
of
|
a
|
doubt
|
with
|
my
|
assistant
|
counsel-
|
Co-counsel
|
Hamilton,
|
sit
|
down.
|
Our
|
client
|
Levi
|
Weeks
|
is
|
innocent.
|
Call
|
your
|
first
|
witness.
|
That's
|
all
|
you
|
had
|
to
|
say!
|
Okay!
|
One
|
more
|
thing-
|
Why
|
do
|
you
|
assume
|
you're
|
the
|
smartest
|
in
|
the
|
room?
|
Why
|
do
|
you
|
assume
|
you're
|
the
|
smartest
|
in
|
the
|
room?
|
Why
|
do
|
you
|
assume
|
you're
|
the
|
smartest
|
in
|
the
|
room?
|
Soon
|
that
|
attitude
|
may
|
be
|
your
|
|
Lyric
|
doom!
|
Awwww!
|
Why
|
do
|
you
|
write
|
like
|
you're
|
running
|
out
|
of
|
time?
|
Write
|
day
|
and
|
night
|
like
|
you're
|
running
|
out
|
of
|
time?
|
Ev'ry
|
day
|
you
|
fight,
|
like
|
you're
|
running
|
out
|
of
|
time?
|
Keep
|
on
|
fighting.
|
In
|
the
|
meantime-
|
Non-stop!
|
Corruption's
|
such
|
an
|
old
|
song
|
that
|
we
|
can
|
sing
|
along
|
in
|
harmony
|
and
|
nowhere
|
is
|
it
|
stronger
|
than
|
in
|
Albany.
|
This
|
colony's
|
economy's
|
increasingly
|
stalling
|
and
|
Honestly,
|
that's
|
why
|
public
|
service
|
seems
|
to
|
be
|
calling
|
me.
|
He's
|
just
|
non-stop!
|
I
|
practiced
|
the
|
law,
|
I
|
|
Lyric
|
practic'ly
|
perfected
|
it
|
I've
|
seen
|
injustice
|
in
|
the
|
world
|
and
|
I've
|
corrected
|
it
|
now
|
for
|
a
|
strong
|
central
|
democracy.
|
If
|
not,
|
then
|
I'll
|
be
|
Socrates
|
throwing
|
verbal
|
rocks
|
at
|
these
|
mediocrities

|
form
|

Why

Ev'ry

Aaron

Burr,

|
It's

night.
|
Can

|
Is
|
this
|
a
|
legal
|
matter?
|
Yes,
|
and
|
it's
|
important
|
to
|
me.
|
What
|
do
|
you
|
need?
|
Burr,
|
you're
|
a
|
better
|
lawyer
|
than
|
me.
|
Okay
|
I
|
know
|
I
|
talk
|
too
|
much,
|
I'm
|
abrasive.

You're

court.
|
You're
|
succinct,
|
persuasive,
|
my
|
client
|
needs

a
|
strong
|
defense.
|
You're
|
the
|
solution.
|
Who's

client?

Hear
