[Part I: 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
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait (Just you wait)
[Part II: My Shot]
I am not throwin' away my shot (Woah) (Not throwin' away my)
I am not throwin' away my shot (Woah) (Not throwin' away my)
Hey yo, I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
[Part III: The Story of Tonight]
Raise a glass to the four of us (To the four of us)
Tomorrow there'll be more of us (More of us)
Tellin' the story of—
[Part IV: The Schuyler Sisters]
(Work, work) Angelica
(Work, work) Eliza (Woah)
And Peggy (Work, work)
The Schuyler sisters (Woah)
Eliza, I'm lookin' for a mind at work (Work, work)
Hey (Work, work), hey (Yeah) (Work, work)
Hey (Work, work)
In the greatest city, inn the greatest city (Work, work, work, work)
In the world (In the world)
[Part V: You'll Be Back]
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove (Push comes to shove, ta, ta)
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-ya-da, da-da-da
[Part VI: Right Hand Man]
We are outgunned (What?), outmanned (What?)
Outnumbered (What?), outplanned (Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck) (Hey)
We gotta make an all-out stand
Yo, I'm gonna need a right hand man
[Part VII: Helpless]
Ooh, I do, I do, I do, I do
Boy, you got me helpless (Got me so helpless)
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit, I'm
(Down for the count and I'm) Drownin' in 'em
[Part VIII: Satisfied]
To your union (To the union, to the revolution)
And the hope that you provide (You provide, you provide)
May you always (Always)
Be satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)
[Part IX: Wait For It]
Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
But we keep livin' anyway
We rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm still alive when so many have died
Then I'm willin' to—
[Interlude: Wait For It / The Ten Duel Commandments]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait for it
One, two, three, four, five six, seven, eight, nine
Wait for it (Wait for it)
It's the ten duel commandments
[Part X: That Would Be Enough]
Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
In the story they will write someday
Let this moment be the first chapter
When you would decide to stay (Stay, stay, stay, just stay)
And that would be enough
[Part XI: Guns and Ships]
(Lafayette)
I'm takin' this horse by the reins
Makin' redcoats redder with bloodstains
(Lafayette)
And I'm never gonna stop until I make 'em drop
And burn 'em up and scatter their remains, I'm—
(Lafayette)
Watch me engagin' 'em, escapin' 'em
Enragin' 'em, I'm—
(Lafayette)
I go to France for more funds
(Lafayette)
I come back with more guns
Alexander Hamilton (And ships)
I have soldiers in the field for you
If we manage to get this right (Manage to get this right)
They'll surrender by early light
The world will never be the same
[Part XII: Non Stop]
The world turned upside down
Look around! Isn't this enough?
He will never be satisfied (What would be enough?)
He will never be satisfied, satisfied, satisfied (To be satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
(History has its eyes on you)
(Look around, look around)
(How do you write like your running out of time?)
(Soon that attitude may be your doom)
(Satisfied)
(Non-stop)
(How do you write like you runnin' out of time?)
(Why do you fight like—)
History has its eyes on you
[Part XIII: Cabinet Battle 1]
What did I miss? (Ah-ooh)
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we're runnin' a real nation
Would you like to join us, or stay mellow
Doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
[Part XIV: Take A Break]
Take a break and get away
Run away with us for the summer
Let's go upstate where we can stay
(We can all go stay with our father, if you take your time)
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
(Close your eyes and dream) We can go when the night gets dark
(Don't say no)
[Part XV: Say No To This]
No, show me how to say no to this
How can I say no to this?
There is nowhere I can go (Helpless)
When her body’s on mine, I do not say no
[Part XVI: The Room Where It Happens]
—One else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened, the room where it happened
My God, in God we trust, but we'll never really know what got discussed
Click, boom, then it happened
But no one else was in the room where it happened
[Part XVII: Washington On Your Side / One Last Time]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
(To have Washington on your, Washington on your side)
History has its eyes on you
(Washington's going home)
[Part XVIII: The Reynolds Pamphlet / Burn]
(La da da da da)
We both know what we know
(I'll write my way out)
Alexander Hamilton had a torrid affair
And he wrote it down right there (Highlights)
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
(I love my sister more than anything in this life)
(I will choose her happiness over mine every time)
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted
Put what we had aside (When you broke her heart)
I'm standing at her side
You could never be satisfied, God I hope you're satisfied
(Watching it burn)
[Interlude: Blow Us All Away]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven—
[Part XIX: It's Quiet Uptown]
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
[Part XX: The World Was Wide Enough / Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story]
Now I'm the villain in your history
I imagined death so much it feels more like a memory
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine (To see)
This is where it gets me
I should've known
I've gotta throw away my shot
My love, take your time, I'll see you on the other side
Will they tell your story?
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
