Washington:
Ladies and Gentlemen
You could've been anywhere in the world tonight
But you're right here with us in New York City
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?
The issue on the table:
Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank
Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor Ma'am
Jefferson:
'Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness'
We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less
These are wise words and surprising men quote 'em
Don't act surprised, you guys, cause I wrote 'em
Oww, but Hamilton forgets
Her plan would have the government assume state debts
Now! Place your bets as to who that benefits.
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
Alex:
Not true!!
Jefferson:
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
If New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?
Uhh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid
Don't tax the South cause we got it made in the shade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
We create, you just wanna move our money around
This financial plan is an outrageous demand and it's too many damn pages
For any man to understand
Stand with me. In the land of the free
Pray to god we never see Hamilton's candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
Imagine what gon happen when you try to tax our whiskey
Georgia:
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson
(crowd: that's my alcohol)
Secretary Hamilton, you're response
Alex:
Tory, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation
Would you like to join us?
Or staying mellow doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello
We assume the debts the union gets
A new line of credit, a financial diuretic,
How do you not get it?
If we're aggressive and competitive
The union gets a boost
You'd rather give it a sedative
A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor
Your debts are paid cause you don't pay for labor
'We plant seeds in the south, we create' Yeah keep ranting
