Lin-Manuel Miranda No John Trumbull

Tekst piosenki

[BURR]
[ENSEMBLE]

You ever see a painting by John Trumbull?
John Trumbull

Founding fathers in a line, looking all humble
All humble

Patiently waiting to sign a declaration, to start a nation

No sign of disagreement, not one grumble
One grumble

The reality is messier and richer, kids
The reality is not a pretty picture, kids
Every cabinet meeting is a full on rumble

What you ’bout to see is no John Trumbull
John Trumbull

[WASHINGTON]
Ladies and gentlemen, you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight
But you’re here with us in New York City
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?

[Crowd cheering]

Gentlemen, Vice President John Adams sends his regards
He won’t be joining us
He had to be home in Massachusetts for family reasons

[MADISON]
Tell him to stay home!

[HAMILTON]
He can do the same amount from there!

[WASHINGTON]
Alright, alright, settle down!
Now..
