Testo di 'Washington On Your Side' di Hamilton: An American Musical

[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 passion
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 mass
So we can at last unmask him
I'll pull the trigger on him
Someone load the gun and cock 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 kissin' 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 motherfuckin'

[Jefferson Madison Burr]
Democratic-Republicans!
Oh!
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
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
