lirik lagu lin-manuel miranda - the election of 1800 (off-broadway)

[full company]
the election of 1800

[jefferson]
can we get back to politics?

[madison]
please?

[jefferson]
yo. ev’ry action has an equal, opposite reaction
john adams shat the bed. i love the guy, but he’s in traction
poor alexander hamilton? he is missing in action
so now i’m facing—

[jefferson and madison]
aaron burr!

[jefferson]
with his own faction

[madison]
he’s very attractive in the north. new yorkers like his chances

[jefferson]
he’s not very forthcoming on any particular stances

[madison]
ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances

[jefferson]
and they say i’m a francophile: at least they know i know where france is!

[madison]
thomas that’s the problem, see, they see burr as a less extreme you

[jefferson]
ha!

[madison]
you need to change course, a key endors-m-nt might redeem you

[jefferson]
who did you have in mind?

[madison]
don’t laugh

[jefferson]
who is it?

[madison]
you used to work on the same staff

[jefferson]
whaaaat

[madison]
it might be nice, it might be nice
to get hamilton on your side
it might be nice, it might be nice
to have some pressure indirectly applied

[jefferson]
just tell him that burr might win

[madison]
he might!

[jefferson]
he’ll act out of pride

[madison]
he can’t help himself

[jefferson and madison]
it might be nice, it might be nice
to have hamilton on your side

[burr]
talk less!

smile more!

don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!

shake hands with him!

charm her!

it’s eighteen hundred, ladies, tell your husbands: vote for
burr!

[male voter]
i don’t like adams

[female voter]
well, he’s gonna lose, that’s just defeatist

[another male voter]
and jefferson—

[two men]
in love with france!

[another female voter]
yeah, he’s so elitist!

[two women]
i like that aaron burr!

[a woman]
i can’t believe we’re here with him!

[a man]
he seems approachable…?

[another male voter]
like you could grab a beer with him!

[ensemble]
dear mr. hamilton: your fellow fed’ralists would like to know how you’ll be voting

[hamilton]
it’s quiet uptown

[ensemble]
dear mr. hamilton: john adams doesn’t stand a chance, so who are you promoting?

[hamilton]
it’s quiet uptown

[men]
jefferson or burr?

we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?

but if you had to choose
[women]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose

jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose

[even more voters]
dear mr. hamilton:

john adams doesn’t stand a chance so who are you promoting?
but if you had to choose

[men]
jefferson or burr?

we know it’s lose-lose
jefferson or burr?

but if you had to choose

[women]
jefferson or burr?
we know it’s lose-lose

jefferson or burr?
but if you had to choose

[hamilton]
well, if it isn’t aaron burr. sir!

[burr]
alexander!

[hamilton]
you’ve created quite a stir, sir!

[burr]
i’m going door to door!

[hamilton]
you’re openly campaigning?

[burr]
sure!

[hamilton]
that’s new

[burr]
honestly, it’s kind of draining

[hamilton]
burr—

[burr]
look
to be the president you have to be unprecedented

[hamilton]
okay i guess but take your line of reasoning and extend it
is there anything you wouldn’t do?

[burr]
no. i’m chasing what i want
and you know what?

[hamilton]
what?

[burr]
i learned that from you

[madison]
the votes are in
and i’ll be d-mned

[jefferson]
well?

[madison]
the electoral college is a tie
now it’s up to the federalist delegates that hamilton has in his pocket
he could decide this election

[ensemble]
if you had to choose
if you had to choose

[hamilton]
yo
i probably shouldn’t be adding my voice
but the people are facing a difficult choice
and if you were to ask me who i’d prefer
don’t vote burr
i have never agreed with jefferson once
we’ve been fighting on like twenty five different fronts
but when all is said and all is done
jefferson has beliefs. burr has none

[ensemble]
oooooooooooooh

[madison and jefferson]
well, i’ll be d-mned
well, i’ll be d-mned

[madison]
hamilton’s on your side

[ensemble]
well, i’ll be d-mned
well, i’ll be d-mned

[jefferson]
well?

[madison]
you won in a landslide

[burr]
congrats on a race well-run
i did give you a fight

[jefferson]
uh-huh

[burr]
i look forward to our partnership

[jefferson]
our partnership?

[burr]
as your vice-president

[jefferson]
ha. yeah, right
you hear this guy? man openly campaigns against me, talkin’ bout, “i look forward to our partnership.”

[madison]
it is crazy that the man who comes in second gets to be vice president

[jefferson]
yeah, you know what? we can change that. you know why?
‘cuz i’m the president
