Lin-Manuel Miranda
Hamilton in 7 Minutes
[AARON BURR: ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean
By providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

What’s your name, man?

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you— just you wait!

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON, JOHN LAURENS, MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE, HERCULES MULLIGAN & (COMPANY): MY SHOT]
Not throwin’ away my shot! (Whoa, whoa whoa!)
I’m not throwin’ away my shot! (Whoa, whoa, whoa!)
Heyo, I’m just like my country
I’m young, scrappy and hungry
And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!-

[JOHN LAURENS: THE STORY OF TONIGHT]
Raise a glass to the four of us!

[JOHN LAURENS AND COMPANY: THE STORY OF TONIGHT]
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us!
Telling the story of—
[COMPANY: THE SCHUYLER SISTERS]

In the grеatest city in the world!~

[COMPANY: THE SCHUYLER SISTERS]
In the world!

[KING GEORGE: YOU’LL BE BACK]
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—

[GEORGE WASHINGTON & (COMPANY): RIGHT HAND MAN]
We are outgunned! (What?)
Outmanned! (What?)
Outnumbered (What?)
Outplanned! (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck!)
And we gotta make an all out stand
Ayo, I’m gonna need a right hand man

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: HELPLESS]
Ooh, I do, I do, I do, I do!
Boy, you got me helpless
Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit
I’m…
[ELIZA SCHUYLER AND COMPANY: HELPLESS]
…Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in ‘em

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER & (COMPANY): SATISFIED]
To your union!
(To the union! To the revolution!)
And the hope that you provide!
(You provide!)
May you always…
(Always!)
Be satisfied…
(Satisfied, satisfied)

[AARON BURR AND COMPANY/(COMPANY): WAIT FOR IT]
Life doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
(But we keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break)
And if there’s a reason I’m still alive
When so many have died
Then, I’m willing to—

[COMPANY: TEN DUEL COMMANDMENTS]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…

[COMPANY: WAIT FOR IT]
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it—

[COMPANY: TEN DUEL COMMANDMENTS]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…
It’s the Ten Duel Commandments!

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH]
Ohhh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter
Where you decide to stay

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]
Lafayette!

[MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: GUNS AND SHIPS]
I’m takin’ this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]
Lafayette!

[MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: GUNS AND SHIPS]
And I’m never gonna stop ‘til I make ‘em
Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m—

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]

[MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: GUNS AND SHIPS]
Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m—

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]

[MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE AND COMPANY & (GEORGE WASHINGTON): GUNS AND SHIPS]
Guns (Alexander Hamilton…)
And ships

[COMPANY: GUNS AND SHIPS]
Alexander Hamilton..

[GEORGE WASHINGTON: GUNS AND SHIPS]
I have soldiers in the field for you…
If we manage to get this right
They’ll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same

[COMPANY: YORKTOWN (THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN)]
The world turned upside down…

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: NON-STOP]
Look around! Isn’t this enough?

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER & (ELIZA SCHUYLER): NON-STOP]
He will never be satisfied (What would be enough?)
He will never be satisfied (To be satisfied)

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER AND ELIZA SCHUYLER: NON-STOP]
Satisfied, satisfied!

[GEORGE WASHINGTON: NON-STOP]
History has its eyes on you

[AARON BURR: NON-STOP]
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 doom!

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: NON-STOP]
Look around! Look around!

[COMPANY: NON-STOP]
Non-stop!

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: NON-STOP]
He will never be satisfied

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: NON-STOP]
Isn’t this enough? What would be enough?

[GEORGE WASHINGTON: NON-STOP]
History has its eyes on you

[AARON BURR: NON-STOP]
Why do you fight like—

[COMPANY: NON-STOP]
History has its eyes on you

[THOMAS JEFFERSON: WHAT’D I MISS]
What’d I miss?

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: CABINET BATTLE #1]
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we’re running a real nation
Would you like to join us or stay mellow
Doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER AND ELIZA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
Take a break

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
And getaway

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
Run away with us for the summer

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER AND ELIZA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
Let’s go upstate

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
Where we can stay

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
We can all go stay with our father

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER & (ELIZA SCHUYLER): TAKE A BREAK]
If you take your time (Look around, look around!)
You will make your mark (At how lucky we are to be alive right now)
Close your eyes and dream (We can go)

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER AND ELIZA SCHUYLER: TAKE A BREAK]
When the night gets dark

[MARIA REYNOLDS: SAY NO TO THIS]
Don’t say no…

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: SAY NO TO THIS]
Oh, show me how to say no to this
How can I say no to this?
There’s nowhere I can go

[MARIA REYNOLDS: SAY NO TO THIS]
Helpless…

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: SAY NO TO THIS]
When her body’s on mine I do not say…

[COMPANY: SAY NO TO THIS]
No…

[COMPANY: THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS]
…one else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

[AARON BURR: THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS]
My God!

[AARON BURR AND COMPANY: THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS]
On God we trust
But we’ll never really know what got discussed
Click-boom then it happened

[AARON BURR: THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS]
But no one else was in the room where it happened

[AARON BURR, THOMAS JEFFERSON AND JAMES MADISON: WASHINGTON ON YOUR SIDE]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side

[COMPANY: WASHINGTON ON YOUR SIDE]
Washington on your side
Washington on your side
Washington on your side
Washington on your side

[GEORGE WASHINGTON & (COMPANY): ONE LAST TIME]
History has its eyes on you!
(George Washington’s going home!)
I’m going home!

[AARON BURR: WE KNOW]
We both know what we know

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: HURRICANE]
I’ll write my way out

[AARON BURR, THOMAS JEFFERSON, JAMES MADISON: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
Alexander Hamilton had a torrid affair
And he wrote it down right there!

[JAMES MADISON: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
Highlights!

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: BURN]
I’m erasing myself from the narrative

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
I love my sister more than anything in this life

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: BURN]
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
I will choose her happiness over mine, every time!

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET]
Put what we had aside
I’m standing at her side
You could never be satisfied
God, I hope you’re satisfied!

[COMPANY: BLOW US ALL AWAY]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven—

(Gunshot)

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: IT’S QUIET UPTOWN]
It’s quiet uptown

[COMPANY: IT’S QUIET UPTOWN]
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
Forgiveness, can you imagine?

If you see him in the street
Walking by her side, talking by her side
Have pity...
They are going through the unimaginable

[AARON BURR: THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
Now I’m the villain in your history

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory

[AARON BURR & (COMPANY): THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
I was too young and blind to see…
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!)

[ANGELICA SCHUYLER: THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
This is where it gets me

[AARON BURR: THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
I should’ve known

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON: THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH]
I’ve got to throw away my shot, I’ll surely be seeing you on the other side..

[ELIZA SCHUYLER: WHO LIVES, WHO DIES, WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?]
Will they tell your story?

[COMPANY: WHO LIVES, WHO DIES, WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
