Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – Meet Me Inside
Text:
Hamilton:
Lee, do you yield?
Burr:
You shot him in the side!
Laurens:
I’m satisfied
Burr:
Yo, we gotta clear the field!
Hamilton:
Go! We won
Company:
Here comes the General!
Burr:
This should be fun
Washington:
What is the meaning of this? Mr. Burr, get a medic for the General
Burr:
Yes, sir
Washington:
Lee, you will never agree with me
But believe me, these young men don’t speak for me
Thank you for your service
Burr:
Let’s ride!
Washington:
Hamilton!
Hamilton:
Sir!
Washington:
Company:
Meet him inside! Meet him inside!
Meet him inside, meet him, meet him inside!
Washington:
Son
Hamilton:
Don’t call me son
Washington:
This war is hard enough
Without infighting
Hamilton:
Lee called you out
We called his bluff
Washington:
You solve nothing, you aggravate our allies to the south
Hamilton:
You’re absolutely right, John should have shot him in the mouth
That would’ve shut him up
Washington:
Son
Hamilton:
I’m notcha son
Washington:
Watch your tone
I am not a maiden in need of defending, I am grown
Hamilton (overlapping):
Charles Lee, Thomas Conway
These men take your name and they rake it through the mud
Washington:
My name’s been through a lot, I can take it
Hamilton:
Well, I don’t have your name
I don’t have your titles
I don’t have your land
But, if you
Washington:
No
Hamilton:
If you gave me command of a battalion, a group of men to lead, I could fly above my station after the war
Washington:
Or you could die and we need you alive
Hamilton:
I’m more than willing to die
Washington:
Your wife needs you alive, son, I need you alive
Hamilton:
Call me son one more time
Washington:
Go home, Alexander
That’s an order from your commander
Hamilton:
Sir
Washington:
Go home
