[00:01.31]Lyrics by：Lin-Manuel Miranda
[00:05.41]Stay alive
[00:11.40]Stay alive
[00:17.57]I have never seen the General so despondent
[00:20.26]I have taken over writing all his correspondence
[00:23.30]Congress writes George attack the British forces
[00:26.23]I shoot back we have resorted to eating our horses
[00:29.45]Local merchants deny us equipment assistance
[00:32.88]They only take British money so sing a song of sixpence
[00:36.13]The cavalry's not coming
[00:37.39]But sir
[00:37.97]Alex listen there's only one way for us to win this
[00:41.38]Provoke outrage
[00:43.38]Outright
[00:44.34]That's right
[00:45.33]Don't engage strike by night
[00:47.63]Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight
[00:50.56]Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight
[00:53.70]Outrun
[00:54.59]Outrun
[00:55.22]Outlast
[00:56.03]Outlast
[00:57.27]Hit 'em quick get out fast
[00:58.78]Chick-a-plao
[00:59.87]Stay alive 'til this horror show is past
[01:02.54]We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast
[01:05.28]Raise a glass
[01:06.01]I go back to New York and my apprenticeship
[01:08.74]I ask for French aid I pray that
[01:10.36]France has sent a ship
[01:11.81]I stay at work with Hamilton we write essays against slavery
[01:15.14]And every day's a test of our camaraderie and bravery
[01:17.97]We cut supply lines we steal contraband
[01:20.75]We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
[01:23.87]And every day sir entrust me with a command
[01:26.93]And every day
[01:27.81]No
[01:28.28]He dismisses me out of hand
[01:30.26]Instead of me he promotes Charles Lee
[01:32.87]Makes him second-in-command
[01:34.27]I'm a general whee
[01:36.83]Yeah he's not the choice I woulda gone with
[01:39.18]He s**ts the bed at the Battle of Monmouth
[01:41.44]Everyone attack
[01:42.94]Retreat
[01:43.73]Attack
[01:44.40]Retreat
[01:45.25]What are you doing Lee get back on your feet
[01:47.91]But there's so many of them
[01:49.12]I'm sorry is this not your speed
[01:50.96]Hamilton
[01:51.96]Ready sir
[01:52.56]Have lafayette take the lead
[01:53.94]Yes sir
[01:54.44]A thousand soldiers die in a hundred-degree heat
[01:56.92]As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat
[01:59.88]Charles Lee was left behind without a pot to piss in
[02:03.16]He started saying this to anybody who would listen
[02:06.43]Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
[02:09.29]Indecisive from crisis to crisis
[02:12.22]The best thing he can do for the revolution
[02:14.58]Is turn 'n go back to planting tobacco in Mount Vernon
[02:17.76]Ooh
[02:18.67]Don't do a thing history will prove him wrong
[02:21.17]But sir
[02:21.68]We have a war to fight let's move along
[02:24.34]Strong words from Lee someone oughta hold him to it
[02:27.00]I can't disobey direct orders
[02:29.89]Then I'll do it
[02:32.20]Alexander you're the closest friend I've got
[02:35.41]Laurens do not throw away your shot
