Lin-Manuel Miranda - Washington On Your Side lyrics

[BURR] It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side [JEFFERSON] Ev'ry action has its equal, opposite reactions Thanks to Hamilton, our cab'net's fractured into factions Try not to crack under the stress, we're breaking down like fractions We smack each other in the press, and we don't print retractions I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of pa**ion The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration As Wall Street robs ‘em blind in search of chips to cash in This prick is askin' for someone to bring him to task Somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous ma** so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and co*k it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket [JEFFERSON AND BURR] It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side Look back at the Bill of Rights [MADISON] Which I wrote [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] The ink hasn't dried It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side [MADISON] So he's doubled the size of the government Wasn't the trouble with much of our previous government size? [BURR] Look in his eyes! [JEFFERSON] See how he lies [MADISON] Follow the scent of his enterprise [JEFFERSON] Centralizing national credit And making American credit competitive [MADISON] If we don't stop it we aid and abet it [JEFFERSON] I have to resign [MADISON] Somebody has to stand up for the South! [BURR] Somebody has to stand up to his mouth! [JEFFERSON] If there's a fire you're trying to douse [MADISON AND JEFFERSON] You can't put it out from inside the house [JEFFERSON] I'm in the cabinet. I am complicit in Watching him grabbin' at power and kiss it If Washington isn't gon' listen To disciplined dissidents, this is the difference: This kid is out! [MADISON/BURR/JEFFERSON] Oh! This immigrant isn't somebody we chose Oh! This immigrant's keeping us all on our toes Oh! Let's show these Federalists who they're up against! Oh! [JEFFERSON/MADISON] Southern motherf**in'— [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] Democratic-Republicans! [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR/ENSEMBLE] Oh! [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] Let's follow the money and see where it goes [ENSEMBLE] Oh! [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] Because every second the Treasury grows [ENSEMBLE] Oh! [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] If we follow the money and see where it leads Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] It must be nice. It must be nice [MADISON] Follow the money and see where it goes [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] It must be nice. It must be nice [JEFFERSON] The emperor has no clothes [JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR] We won't be invisible. We won't be denied Still It must be nice, it must be nice to have Washington on your side
