Stay Alive

[ELIZA]Stay alive…

[ELIZA/ANGELICA/ENSEMBLE WOMEN]Stay alive…

[HAMILTON]I have never seen the General so despondentI have taken over writing all his correspondenceCongress writes, “George, attack the British forces.”I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horsesLocal merchants deny us equipment, assistanceThey only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence

[WASHINGTON]The cavalry’s not coming

[HAMILTON]Sir!

[WASHINGTON]Alex, listen. There’s only one way for us to win thisProvoke outrage, outright

[HAMILTON]That’s right

[WASHINGTON]Don’t engage, strike by nightRemain relentless ‘til their troops take flight

[HAMILTON]Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight

[WASHINGTON]Outrun

[HAMILTON]Outrun

[WASHINGTON]Outlast

[HAMILTON]Outlast

[WASHINGTON]Hit ‘em quick, get out fast

[HAMILTON]Chick-a-plao!

[WASHINGTON]Stay alive ‘til this horror show is pastWe’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast

[HAMILTON/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]Raise a glass!

[MULLIGAN]I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

[LAFAYETTE]I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship

[LAURENS]I stay at work with HamiltonWe write essays against slaveryAnd every day’s a test of our camaraderieAnd bravery

[HAMILTON]We cut supply lines, we steal contrabandWe pick and choose our battles and places to take a standAnd ev’ry day“Sir, entrust me with a command,”And ev’ry day

[WASHINGTON]No

[HAMILTON]He dismisses me out of hand

[HAMILTON]Instead of meHe promotesCharles LeeMakes him second-in-command:

[LEE]I’m a General. Whee!!!!

[HAMILTON]Yeah. He’s not the choice I would have gone with

[HAMILTON/LAURENS/LAFAYETTE]He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth

[WASHINGTON]Ev’ryone attack!

[LEE]Retreat!

[WASHINGTON]Attack!

[LEE]Retreat!

[WASHINGTON]What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet!

[LEE]But there’s so many of them!

[WASHINGTON]I’m sorry, is this not your speed?!Hamilton!

[HAMILTON]Ready, sir!

[WASHINGTON]Have Lafayette take the lead!

[HAMILTON]Yes, sir!

[LAURENS]A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat

[LAFAYETTE]As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat

[HAMILTON]Charles Lee was left behindWithout a pot to piss inHe started sayin’ this to anybody who would listen:

[LEE]Washington cannot be left alone to his devicesIndecisive, from crisis to crisisThe best thing he can do for the revolutionIs turn n’ go back to plantin’ tobacco in Mount Vernon

[COMPANY]Oo!!

[WASHINGTON]Don’t do a thing. History will prove him wrong

[HAMILTON]But, sir!

[WASHINGTON]We have a war to fight, let’s move along

[LAURENS]Strong words from Lee, someone oughta hold him to it

[HAMILTON]I can’t disobey direct orders

[LAURENS]Then I’ll do itAlexander, you’re the closest friend I’ve got

[HAMILTON]Laurens, do not throw away your shot
