[00:07.93] It must be nice, it must be nice

[00:12.21] To have Washington on your side

[00:14.98] It must be nice, it must be nice

[00:19.50] To have Washington on your side

[00:22.28] Every action has an equal opposite reaction

[00:25.81] Thanks to Hamilton, our cabinet's fractured into factions

[00:29.31] Try not to crack under the stress, we're breaking down like fractions

[00:32.85] We smack each other in the press, and we don't print retractions

[00:36.65] I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion

[00:40.20] The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion

[00:43.71] Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration

[00:47.23] As Wall Street robs 'em blind in search of chips to cash in

[00:51.00] This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task

[00:54.01] Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask

[00:56.29] So we can, at last, unmask him

[00:58.05] I'll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it

[01:01.59] While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket

[01:05.36] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:09.64] To have Washington on your side

[01:12.43] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:16.70] To have Washington on your side

[01:19.71] Look back at the Bill of Rights (Which I wrote!)

[01:23.50] The ink hasn't dried

[01:26.77] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:31.05] To have Washington on your side

[01:33.58] So he's doubled the size of the government

[01:35.36] Wasn't the trouble with much of our previous government size?

[01:37.88] Look in his eyes

[01:38.88] See how he lies

[01:39.88] Follow the scent of his enterprise

[01:41.38] Centralizing national credit and making American credit competitive

[01:45.18] If we don't stop it, we aid and abet it

[01:46.94] I have to resign

[01:47.94] Somebody has to stand up for the South

[01:49.45] Well, somebody has to stand up to his mouth

[01:51.24] If there's a fire you're trying to douse

[01:53.28] You can't put it out from inside the house

[01:55.04] I'm in the cabinet, I am complicit

[01:56.80] And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it

[01:58.81] If Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents

[02:00.84] This is the difference, this kid is out

[02:02.86] Oh! This immigrant isn't somebody we chose

[02:06.63] Oh! This immigrant's keeping us all on our toes

[02:10.14] Oh! Let's show these Federalists what they're up against

[02:13.83] Oh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-Republicans

[02:17.33] Oh! Now follow the money and see where it goes

[02:20.86] Oh! Because every second, the treasury grows

[02:24.63] Oh! If we follow the money and see where it leads

[02:27.65] Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds

[02:31.43] It must be nice, it must be nice

[02:36.21] Follow the money and see where it goes

[02:38.46] It must be nice, it must be nice

[02:43.75] The emperor has no clothes

[02:46.03] We won't be invisible

[02:49.55] We won't be denied

[02:51.81] Still, it must be nice, it must be nice

[02:57.09] To have Washington on your side
