Lyrics

Your Obedient Servant

[BURR] How does Hamilton An arrogant Immigrant, orphan Bastard, whoreson Somehow endorse Thomas Jefferson, his enemy A man he’s despised since the beginning Just to keep me from winning? I wanna be in the room where it happens— [BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens The room where it happens [BURR] You’ve kept me from— [BURR AND COMPANY] The room where it happens [BURR] For the last time Dear Alexander: I am slow to anger But I toe the line As I reckon with the effects Of your life on mine I look back on where I failed And in every place I checked The only common thread has been your disrespect Now you call me “amoral,” A “dangerous disgrace,” If you’ve got something to say Name a time and place Face to face I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Burr [HAMILTON] Mr. Vice President: I am not the reason no one trusts you No one knows what you believe I will not equivocate on my opinion I have always worn it on my sleeve Even if I said what you think I said You would need to cite a more specific grievance Here’s an itemized list of thirty years of disagreements [BURR] Sweet Jesus [HAMILTON] Hey, I have not been shy I am just a guy in the public eye Tryin’ to do my best for our republic I don’t wanna fight But I won’t apologize for doing what’s right I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant A dot Ham [BURR] Careful how you proceed, good man Intemperate indeed, good man Answer for the accusations I lay at your feet or Prepare to bleed, good man [HAMILTON] Burr, your grievance is legitimate I stand by what I said, every bit of it You stand only for yourself It’s what you do I can’t apologize because it’s true [BURR] Then stand, Alexander Weehawken. Dawn Guns. Drawn [HAMILTON] You’re on [BURR AND HAMILTON] I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant [HAMILTON] A dot Ham [BURR] A dot Burr
