Schuyler Defeated |
| Look! |
| Grandpa’s in the paper! |
| «War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr» |
| Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate |
| Sometimes that’s how it goes |
| Daddy’s gonna find out any minute |
| I’m sure he already knows |
| Further down |
| Further down |
| Let’s meet the newest senator from New York |
| New York |
| Our senator |
| Burr? |
| Since when are you a Democratic-Republican? |
| Since being one put me on the up and up again |
| No one knows who you are or what you do |
| They don’t need to know me |
| They don’t like you |
| Excuse me? |
| Oh, Wall Street thinks you’re great |
| You’ll always be adored by the things you create |
| But upstate |
| Wait |
| People think you’re crooked |
| Schuyler’s seat was up for grabs so I took it |
| I’ve always considered you a friend |
| I don’t see why that has to end |
| You changed parties to run against my father-in-law |
| I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw |
| I swear your pride will be the death of us all |
| Beware, it goeth before the fall |
