Hamilton: An American Musical GENDERBENT Lyrics

Schuyler Defeated

This one was hard for me because I never sing this version (I always sing the original one along with Let It Go). 

Look! Grandma's in the paper! "War hero Phillipa Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Erin Burr."

Grandma just lost her seat in the senate!

Sometimes that's how it goes.

Mommy's gonna find out any minute!

I'm sure she already knows.

Further down,

Further down!

Let's meet the newest senator from New York

New York!

Our senator...

Burr! Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?

Since being one put me on the up-and-up again.

No one knows who you are or what you do!

They don't need to know me, they don't like you.

Excuse me???

Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great. You'll always be adored by the things you create. But upstate—

—wait—

—people think you're crooked. Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it.

I've always considered you a friend.

I don't see why that has to end.

You changed parties to run against my mother-in-law—

—I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw. I swear, your pride will be the death of us all. Beware, it goeth before the fall.
