The Adams Administration (2014 Workshop)

Lyrics

[BURR] How does the hot-headed, short-tempered Protean creator of the Coast Guard Founder of the New York Post Ardently abuse his cab'net post Destroy his reputation? Welcome folks, to [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 Calling him the "creole bastard" in his taunts [JEFFERSON] No! [BURR] Hamilton publishes his response [HAMILTON] An open letter to the fat, arrogant, anti-charismatic National embarrassment known as President John Adams [BURR] Shit [HAMILTON] The man's irrational, he claims that I'm in league With Britain in some vast, international intrigue Bitch, please, you wouldn't know what I'm doin' You're always goin' berserk, but you never show up to work Give my regards to Abigail Next time you write about my lack of moral compass At least I do my job up in this rumpus! [COMPANY] Oh! [HAMILTON] The line is behind me, I crossed it again Well, the President lost it again Aww, such a rough life, better run to your wife Yo, the boss is in Boston again Lemme ask you a question: Who sits At your desk when you're in Massachusetts? They were calling you a dick back in '76 And you haven't done anything new since! You're a nuisance! with no sense! You will die of irrelevance! Go ahead: You can call me the Devil You aspire to my level, you aspire to malevolence! Say hi to the Jeffersons! And the spies all around me, maybe they can confirm I don't care if I kill my career with this letter I'm confining you to one term You fat mother—! [Hamilton drops a thick tome of paper on the floor. The Company explodes.] [BURR, spoken] He's out of control! [MADISON, spoken] No! It's fine. He's out of power, he holds no office, and he just destroyed the only other significant member of his party— [JEFFERSON, spoken] He'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
