| 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
|
| 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 ‘til their troops take flight
|
| Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight
|
| Outrun
|
| Outrun
|
| Outlast
|
| Outlast
|
| Hit ‘em quick, get out fast
|
| Chick-a-plao!
|
| Stay alive ‘til this horror show is past
|
| We’re gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast
|
| 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
|
| Instead of me
|
| He promotes
|
| Charles Lee
|
| Makes him second-in-command:
|
| Charles Lee.
|
| Stay alive...
|
| I’m a General. |
| Whee!!!!
|
| Yeah. |
| He’s not the choice I would have gone with
|
| He shits the bed 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
|
| Oo!!
|
| 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 |
