lirik lagu j. mummert – lin-manuel miranda’s “guns and ships”
[burr]
how does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
somehow defeat a global superpower?
how do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
leave the battlefield waving betsy ross’ flag higher?
yo. turns out we have a secret weapon!
an immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
he’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the british henchmen
ev’ryone give it up for america’s favorite fighting frenchman!

alexander hamilton
troops are waiting in the field for you
if you join us right now, together we can turn the tide
oh, alexander hamilton
i have soldiers who will yield for you
if we manage to get this right
they’ll surrender by early light
the world will never be the same, alexander…
