One, two, three, four Five, six, seven, eight, nine It’s the Ten Duel Commandments It’s the Ten Duel Commandments Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, boy you got me helpless Look into your eyes and the sky’s the limit, I’m helpless Down for the count and I’m drownin’ in ‘em It must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your side It must be nice, it must be nice To have Washington on your side No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened My God! In God we trust But we'll never really know what got discussed Click-boom then it happened And no one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened! Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you) You could never back down, you never learned to take you Ti-i-(h)ime, oh! Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton) When America sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game? The world will never be the same What’s your name, man?
