Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton - Overmountain Men

Written by：David Childers/Bob Crawford

The men here want to take me down

Down to the dirt drag me around

But I persist will not abstain

From the need to explain

Oh it's a short life

And I cannot pretend

That it's easy being me

No it's not easy when you see

Inspiration is a curse

But doing nothing is much worse

My arguments though not planned

Put my own blood on my hand

Oh it's a short life

And I cannot pretend

That it's easy being me

No it's not easy when you see

That I've a need to defend

Alexander Hamilton

I tell myself I'll never win

There I go again

I sit alone in my room for weeks

Perfecting what must be

Refuting the enemies of my ideal

And the scandal thrown at me

Beneath the palisade we go

To reach the shrouded morning spot

A place to silence bitter words

A place for ending jealous plots

Oh it's a short life

And I cannot pretend

That it's easy being me

No it's not easy when you see

That I've a need to defend

Alexander Hamilton

I know the truth I'll never win

But here I go again

Here I go again
