Hamilton (musical) "We Know" lyrics

Translation to:esittr

We Know

[HAMILTON]Mr. Vice PresidentMr. MadisonSenator BurrWhat is this?

[JEFFERSON]We have the check stubs. From separate accounts…

[MADISON]Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts…

[BURR]To a Mr. James Reynolds way back inSeventeen ninety-one

[HAMILTON]Is that what you have? Are you done?

[MADISON]You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position—

[JEFFERSON]Though ‘virtue’ is not a word I’d apply to this situation—

[MADISON]To seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission—

[JEFFERSON]And the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation—

[BURR]An immigrant embezzling our government funds—

[JEFFERSON/MADISON]I can almost see the headline, your career is done

[BURR]I hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons

[BURR/JEFFERSON/MADISON]Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!

[HAMILTON]Ha! You don’t even know what you’re asking me to confess

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]Confess

[HAMILTON]You got nothing. I don’t have to tell you anything at allUnless

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]Unless

[HAMILTON]If I can prove that I never broke the lawDo you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?

[BURR]No one else was in the room where it happened

[HAMILTON]Is that a yes?

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]Um, yes

[BURR]“Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good healthAnd in a prosperous enough position to put wealthIn the pockets of people like me: down on their luckYou see, that was my wife who you decided to—”

[JEFFERSON]Whaaaat—

[HAMILTON]She courted meEscorted me to bed and when she had me in a cornerThat’s when Reynolds extorted meFor a sordid feeI paid him quarterlyI may have mortally wounded my prospectsBut my papers are orderly!As you can see I kept a record of every check in my checkeredHistory. Check it again against your list n’ see consistencyI never spent a cent that wasn’t mineYou sent the dogs after my scent, that’s fineYes, I have reasons for shameBut I have not committed treason and sullied my good nameAs you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal actionAre my answers to your satisfaction?

[JEFFERSON]My God

[MADISON]Gentlemen, let’s go

[HAMILTON]So?

[JEFFERSON AND MADISON]The people won't know what we know

[HAMILTON]Burr!How do I know you won’t use this against meThe next time we go toe to toe?

[BURR]Alexander, rumors only grow. And we bothKnow what we know
