lirik lagu lin-manuel miranda - we know (off-broadway)
[hamilton]
mr. vice president
senator madison
senator burr
what is this?
[jefferson]
we have the check stubs from separate accounts
[madison]
almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts
[burr]
to a mr. james reynolds way back in seventeen ninety-one
[hamilton]
is that what you have? are you done?
[madison]
you are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
[jefferson]
though ‘virtue’ is not a word i’d apply to this situation
[madison]
to seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission
[jefferson]
and the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation
[burr]
an immigrant embezzling our government funds
[jefferson/madison]
i can almost see the headline, your career is done
[burr]
i hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons
[burr/jefferson/madison]
you might win some, but you just lost one
[hamilton]
ha! you don’t even know what you’re asking me to confess
[jefferson/madison/burr]
confess
[hamilton]
you have nothing, i don’t have to tell you anything at all
unless
[jefferson/madison/burr]
unless
[hamilton]
if i can prove that i never broke the law
do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
[burr]
no one else was in the room where it happened
[hamilton]
is that a yes?
[jefferson/madison/burr]
um, yes
[hamilton]
“dear sir, i hope this letter finds you in good health
and in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
in the pockets of people like me: down on their luck”
you see it was james reynolds’ wife i tried to..
[jefferson]
whaaaat—
[hamilton]
uh oh, it looks like i trusted the wrong couple
i threw it all away for some young soft and supple
yes, i confess, i’m a sucker for a damsel in distress
i’m getting the stress off my chest
[burr]
that’s enough
[hamilton]
she courted me
escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
that’s when her husband extorted me
for a sordid fee
i paid him quarterly
i may have mortally wounded my prospects
but my papers are orderly
as you can see i kept a record of every check in my checkered history
check it again against the list n’ see consistency
i never spent a cent that wasn’t mine
you sent the dogs after my scent, that’s fine
yes, i have reasons for shame
but i have not committed treason or sullied my good name
as you can see i have done nothing to provoke legal action
are my answers to your satisfaction?
[jefferson]
my god
[madison]
gentlemen, let’s go
[hamilton]
so?
[jefferson and madison]
the people won’t know what we know
[hamilton]
burr! how do i know you won’t use this against me
the next time we go toe-to-toe?
[burr]
i guess you don’t
but we both know what we know
