Lyrics Lin–Manuel Miranda – The Adams Administration

Burr:
How does Hamilton the short-tempered
Protean creator of the Coast Guard
Founder of the New York Post

Burr/Company:
The Adams administration!

Burr:
Jefferson’s the runner-up, which makes him the Vice President

Jefferson:
Washington can’t help you now, no more mister nice President

Burr:
Adams fires Hamilton
Privately calls him «creole bastard» in his taunts

Jefferson:
Say what?!

Burr:
Hamilton publishes his response

Hamilton:
Sit down, John, you fat mother
*bleep*

Burr:
Hamilton is out of control

Madison:
This is great!
He’s out of power
He holds no office
And he just destroyed President John Adams, the only other significant member of his party

Jefferson:
Hamilton’s a host unto himself
As long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat
Let’s let him know what we know
