Hamilton-The Room Where It Happens
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
Haha!
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 pièce de résistance
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
Alexander was on Washington’s doorstep one day in distress and disarray
Alexander said, “I’ve nowhere else to turn”
And basically begged me to join the fray
I approached Madison and said
“I know you hate him but let’s hear what he has to say”
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 is in the room where it happens
Madison is grappling with the fact
That not every issue can be settled by committee
Congress is fighting over where to put the capital
It isn’t pretty
Jefferson approaches with the dinner 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
What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river
Did Washington know about the dinner
Was there Presidential pressure to deliver?
Or did you know even then it doesn’t matter where you put the U.S. capital?
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
God help and forgive me
I wanna build something that’s gonna outlive me
What do you want Burr? (What do you want Burr?)
What do you want Burr? (What do you want Burr?)
If you stand for nothing then what’ll you fall for? (What do you want Burr?)
I, I wanna be in the room where it happens
The room where it happens
I wanna be in the room where it happens
The room where it happens
I (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
The room where it happens
I (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
I wanna be in (the room where it happens)
The room where it happens
I wanna be in the room where it happens (Oh)
The room where it happens
The room where it happens (I wanna be in the room)
I wanna be in the room where it happens (I’ve got to be, I’ve got to be)
The room where it happens (Oh)
The room where it happens (That big old room, oh)
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 (room where it happens)
I gotta be (the room where it happens)
I gotta 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, gotta be (the room where it happens)
In the room (I wanna be in the room where it happens)
Click, boom
