The Room Where It Happens (决策现场) - Leslie Odom, Jr./Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton/Lin-Manuel Miranda (林-曼努尔·米兰达)/Daveed Diggs

Ah Mr secretary

Mr burr sir

Did you hear the news about good old general mercer

No

You know claremont street

Yeah

They renamed it after him

The mercer legacy is secure

Sure

And all he had to do is die

And that's a lot less work

We ought to give it a try

Heh

And how you gonna get your debt plan through

I guess I'm gonna have to finally listen to you

Really

Talk less

Smile more

Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the congress floor

Now madison and jefferson are merciless

Well hate the sin love the sinner

Hamilton

I'm sorry burr I gotta go

But decisions are happening over dinner

Two virginians and an immigrant walk into a room

Diametrically opposed

Foes

They emerge with a compromise having open doors that were

Previously closed

Bros

The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power

A system he can shape however he wants

The virginians emerge with the nation's capital

And here's the piè ce de ré sistance

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one really knows how the game is played

The art of the trade

How the sausage gets made

We just assume that it happens

But no one else is in the room where it happens

Thomas claims

Alexander was on washington's doorstep one day in distress and disarray

Thomas claims

Alexander said I've nowhere else to turn

And basically begged me to join the fray

Thomas claims

I approached madison and said

I know you hate him but let's hear what he has to say

Thomas claims

Well I arranged the meeting

I arranged the menu the venue the seating

But

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one really knows how the parties get to yes

The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess

We just assume that it happens

But no else else is in the room where it happens

Meanwhile

Madison is grappling with the fact that

Not every issue can be settled by committee

Meanwhile

Congress is fighting over where to put the capital

It isn't pretty

Jefferson approaches with the dinner in invite

Madison responds with virginian insight

Maybe we could solve one problem with another

And win a victory for the southerners

In other words

Ho ho

A quid pro quo

I suppose

Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home

Actually I would

Well I propose the potomac

And you'll provide him his votes

Well we'll see how it goes

Let's go

No

One else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

No one else was in the room where it happened

The room where it happened

The room where it happened

My god in god we trust

But we never really know what got discussed

Click boom then it happened

But no one else was in the room where it happened

Alexander hamilton

What did they say to you to get you to sell

New York city down the river

Alexander hamilton

Did washington know about the dinner

Was there presidential pressure to deliver

Alexander hamilton

Or did you know even then it

Doesn't matter where you put the US capitol

Cause we'll have the banks we're in the same spot

You got more than you gave

And I wanted what I got

When you got skin in the game you stay in the game

But you don't get a win unless you play in the game

Oh you get love for it

You get hate for it

But you get nothing if you

Wait for it wait for it wait

God help and forgive me

I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me

What do you want burr

What do you want burr

If you stand for nothing then what'll you fall for

I

I wanna be in the room where it happens

The room where it happens

I I wanna be in the room where it happens

The room where it happens

I I wanna be in the room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

I I wanna be in the room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

I I wanna be in the room where it happens

The room where it happens

The room where it happens

The art of the compromise

Hold your nose and close your eyes

We want our leaders to save the day

But we don't get a say in what they trade away

We dream of a brand new start

But we dream in the dark for the most part

Dark as a tomb where it happens

I've got to be in the room

The room where it happens

I've got to be

The room where it happens

I've got to be

The room where it happens

I've got to be in the room

The room where it happens

I gotta be

I gotta be

I've got to be in the room

I wanna be in the room

I wanna be in the room where it happens
