Your Obedient Servant [German translation]

[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
