Stay Alive (活下来) (《汉密尔顿》音乐剧插曲) - Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton

(《汉密尔顿》音乐剧插曲)

Stay alive

Stay alive

I have never seen the General so despondent

I have taken over writing all his correspondence

Congress writes George attack the British forces

I shoot back we have resorted to eating our horses

Local merchants deny us equipment assistance

They only take British money so sing a song of sixpence

The cavalry's not coming

But sir

Alex listen

There's only one way for us to win this

Provoke outrage outright

That's right

Don't engage strike by night

Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight

Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight

Outrun

Outrun

Outlast

Outlast

Hit 'em quick get out fast

Chick-a-plao

Stay alive 'til this horror show is past

We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast

Raise a glass

I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

I ask for French aid I pray that France has sent a ship

I stay at work with Hamilton

We write essays against slavery

And every day's a test of our camaraderie

And bravery

We cut supply lines we steal contraband

We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand

And ev'ry day

Sir entrust me with a command

And ev'ry day

No

He dismisses me out of hand

Stay alive

Instead of me

He promotes

Charles Lee

Makes him second-in-command

I'm a General

Whee

Yeah

He's not the choice I would have gone with

He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth

Ev'ryone attack

Retreat

Attack

Retreat

What are you doing Lee

Get back on your feet

But there's so many of them

I'm sorry is this not your speed

Hamilton

Ready sir

Have Lafayette take the lead

Yes sir

A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat

As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat

Charles Lee was left behind

Without a pot to piss in

He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen

Washington cannot be left alone to his devices

Indecisive from crisis to crisis

The best thing he can do for the revolution

Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon

Oo

Don't do a thing History will prove him wrong

But sir

We have a war to fight let's move along

Strong words from Lee someone oughta hold him to it

I can't disobey direct orders

Then I'll do it

Alexander you're the closest friend I've got

Laurens do not throw away your shot
