Karaoké Stay Alive Hamilton

Stay alive stay alive

I have never seen the General so despondent

I have taken over writing all his correspondence

Congress writes

George, attack the British forces

I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses

Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance

They only take British money so sing a song of sixpence

The cavalry's not coming

But, sir

Alex, listen

There's only one way for us to win this

Provoke outrage outright

That's right

Don't engage, strike by night remain relentless 'till their

Troops take flight

Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight ah ah

Outrun

Outrun outlast outlast

Hit 'em quick get out fast

Chick-a-plao

Stay alive 'till this horror show is past

We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast raise a glass

Raise a glass

I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

I ask for French aid

I pray that France has sent a ship

I stay at work with Hamilton we write essays against slavery

And every day's a test of our camaraderie and bravery

We cut supply lines we steal contraband

We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand

And ev'ry day

Sir, entrust me with a command

And ev'ry day

No he dismisses me out of hand

Stay alive

Instead of me he promotes Charles Lee

Charles Lee

Makes him second-in-command

I'm a General

Whee yeah he's not the choice

I would have gone with he shits the bed he shits the bed

At the Battle of Monmouth

At the Battle of Monmouth ev'ryone attack

Retreat, attack, retreat what are you doing, Lee

Get back on your feet but there's so many of them

I'm sorry, is this not your speed

Hamilton

Ready, sir

Have Lafayette take the lead yes, sir a thousand soldiers die

In a hundred degree heat as we snatch a stalemate

From the jaws of defeat

Charles Lee was left behind without a pot to piss in

He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen

Washington cannot be left alone to his devices

Indecisive from crisis to crisis

The best thing he can do for the revolution is turn n'

Go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon

Don't do a thing history will prove him wrong

But, sir

We have a war to fight let's move along

Strong words from Lee someone oughta hold him to it

I can't disobey direct orders

Then I'll do it

Alexander

You're the closest friend I've got

Laurens do not throw away your shot
