Leslie Odom Jr - The Adams Administration (Off-Broadway) lyrics

[BURR] How does the hot-headed, short-tempered Protean creator of the Coast Guard Founder of the New York Post Ardently abuse his cab'net post Destroy his reputation? Welcome, folks, to [BURR/COMPANY] The Adams administration! [BURR] Jefferson's the runner-up, which makes him the Vice President [JEFFERSON] Washington can't help you now, no more mister nice President [BURR] Adams fires Hamilton Calling him the “creole ba*tard” in his taunts [JEFFERSON] No! [BURR] Hamilton publishes his response [HAMILTON] An open letter to the fat Arrogant Anti-charismatic National embarra**ment Known as President John Adams [BURR] sh**! [HAMTILON] The man's irrational. He claims that I'm in league With Britain in some vast international intrigue? b**h, please! You wouldn't know what I'm doin' You're always goin' berserk But ya never show up to work Give my regards to Abigail Next time you write about my lack of moral compa** At least I do my job up in this rumpus [COMPANY} Ooh... [HAMILTON] The line is behind me I crossed it again While the president lost it again Aw, such a rough life Better run to your wife Now the boss is in Boston again Let me ask you a question. Who sits At your desk when you're in Ma**achusetts? They were calling you a dick back in '76 And you haven't done anything new since You're a nuisance with no sense You'll die of irrelevance Go ahead, you can call me the devil You aspire to my level You inspire to malevolence Say, "Hi," to the Jeffersons! And spies all around me Maybe they can confirm I don't care if I k** my career with this letter I'm confining you to one term You fat motherf**er! [BURR] He's outta control! [MADISON] No! It's fine. He's out of power, he holds no office, and he just destroyed the only other significant member of his party- [JEFFERSON] He's a host unto himself. As long as he can hold a pen, he's a threat. Let's let him know what we know
