Schuyler Defeated

[PHILLIP]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

[ELIZA]Sometimes that’s how it goes

[PHILLIP]Daddy’s gonna find out any minute

[ELIZA]I’m sure he already knows

[PHILLIP]Further down

[PHILLIP & ELIZA]Further down

[PHILLIP]Let’s meet the newest senator from New York

[ELIZA]New York

[PHILLIP & ELIZA]Our senator

[HAMILTON]Burr?Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?

[BURR]Since being one put me on the up and up again

[HAMILTON]No one knows who you are or what you do

[BURR]They don’t need to know meThey don’t like you

[HAMILTON]Excuse me?

[BURR]Oh, Wall Street thinks you’re greatYou’ll always be adored by the things you createBut upstate—

[HAMILTON]Wait

[BURR]—people think you’re crookedSchuyler’s seat was up for grabs so I took it

[HAMILTON]I’ve always considered you a friend

[BURR]I don’t see why that has to end

[HAMILTON]You changed parties to run against my father-in-law

[BURR]I changed parties to seize the opportunity I sawI swear your pride will be the death of us allBeware, it goeth before the fall
