Schuyler Defeated 歌詞

 

Schuyler Defeated - Phillipa Soo/Lin-Manuel Miranda (林-曼努爾·米蘭達)/Leslie Odom Jr./Anthony Ramos

(《 亞歷山大·漢米爾頓》音樂劇插曲)

Look

Grandpa's in the paper

 

War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr

 

Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate

 

Sometimes that's how it goes

 

Daddy's gonna find out any minute

 

I'm sure he already knows

 

Further down

Further down

Let's meet the newest senator from New York

 

New York

 

Our senator

 

Burr

Since when are you a Democratic-Republican

 

Since being one put me on the up and up again

No one knows who you are or what you do

They don't need to know me

They don't like you

Excuse me

Oh Wall Street thinks you're great

You'll always be adored by the things you create

But upstate

Wait

People think you're crooked

Schuyler's seat was up for grabs so I took it

 

I've always considered you a friend

I don't see why that has to end

You changed parties to run against my father-in-law

I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw

I swear your pride will be the death of us all

 

Beware it goeth before the fall
