Cabinet Battle #2 (内阁争论 2) - Lin-Manuel Miranda (林-曼努尔·米兰达)/Daveed Diggs/Christopher Jackson/Okieriete Onaodowan
(《 亚历山大·汉米尔顿》音乐剧插曲)
The issue on the table

France is on the verge of war with England
Now do provide aid and troops to our French allies
Or do we stay out of it
Remember my decision on this matter
Is not subject to congressional approval

The only person you have to convince is me
Secretary Jefferson you have the floor sir

When we were on death's door when we were needy
We made a promise we signed a treaty
We needed money and guns and half a chance
Uhh who provided those funds France

In return they didn't ask for land

Only the promise that we'd lend a hand
And stand with them if they fought against oppressors
And revolution is messy but now is the time to stand
Stand with our brothers as they fight against tyranny
I know that Alexander Hamilton is here
And he would rather not have this debate
I remind you that he is not Secretary of State
He knows nothing of loyalty nothing
Smells like new money
Dresses like fake royalty
Desperate to rise above his station
Everything he does betrays the ideals our nation

Hey and if you don't know now you know Mr President
Thank you Secretary Jefferson

Secretary Hamilton your response

You must be out of your Goddamned mind
If you think
The president is gonna bring the nation to the brink
Of meddling in the middle of a military mess
A game of chess
Where France is queen and king-less
We've signed a treaty with a king
Who's head is now in a basket
Would you like to take it out and ask it
Oh should we honor our treaty king Louis head
Uh do whatever you want I'm super dead
Enough enough

Hamilton is right Mr President
We're too fragile to start another fight
But sir do we not fight for freedom
Sure when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em
The people are leading
The people are rioting there's a difference
Frankly it's a little disquieting
You would let your ideals blind you to reality
Hamilton sir Draft the statement of neutrality

Did you forget Lafayette wtat
Have you an ounce of regret

You accumulate debt you accumulate power

Yet in their hour of need you forget

Lafayette's a smart man he'll be fine

And before he was your friend he was mine
If we try to fight in every revolution in the world
We never stop where do we draw the line
So quick witted
Alas I admit it
I bet you were quite a lawyer
My defendants got aquitted
Yeah well someone oughtta remind you wtat
You're nothing without Washington behind you
Hamilton daddy's calling
