[00:05.47] Stay alive
[00:10.67] Stay alive
[00:17.43] I have never seen the General so despondent
[00:19.70] I have taken over writing all his correspondence
[00:23.21] Congress writes, George, attack the British forces
[00:25.70] I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses
[00:29.17] Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
[00:32.67] They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence
[00:35.68] The cavalry's not coming
[00:37.18] Sir
[00:38.18] Alex, listen
[00:38.94] There's only one way for us to win this
[00:41.18] Provoke outrage, outright
[00:43.92] That's right
[00:44.68] Don't engage, strike by night
[00:46.66] Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight
[00:49.95] Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight
[00:53.45] Outrun
[00:54.46] Outrun
[00:55.18] Outlast
[00:55.68] Outlast
[00:56.68] Hit 'em quick, get out fast
[00:57.93] Chick-a-plao
[00:59.91] Stay alive 'til this horror show is past
[01:01.93] We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast
[01:04.73] Raise a glass
[01:05.67] I go back to New York and my apprenticeship
[01:08.16] I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship
[01:11.43] I stay at work with Hamilton
[01:12.93] We write essays against slavery
[01:14.68] And every day's a test of our camaraderie
[01:16.68] And bravery
[01:17.94] We cut supply lines, we steal contraband
[01:20.43] We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
[01:23.45] And ev'ry day
[01:24.70] Sir, entrust me with a command
[01:26.43] And ev'ry day
[01:27.43] No
[01:27.91] He dismisses me out of hand
[01:29.42] Instead of me
[01:31.16] He promotes
[01:31.67] Charles Lee
[01:32.67] Makes him second-in-command
[01:33.92] I'm a general
[01:34.93] Whee
[01:36.17] Yeah
[01:37.16] He's not the choice I would have gone with
[01:38.43] He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth
[01:40.92] Ev'ryone attack
[01:42.41] Retreat
[01:43.17] Attack
[01:43.99] Retreat
[01:44.72] What are you doing, Lee?
[01:46.22] Get back on your feet
[01:47.45] But there's so many of them
[01:48.72] I'm sorry, is this not your speed?
[01:50.72] Hamilton
[01:51.33] Ready, sir
[01:51.63] Have Lafayette take the lead
[01:53.59] Yes, sir
[01:54.34] A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat
[01:56.32] As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat
[01:59.33] Charles Lee was left behind
[02:01.38] Without a pot to piss in
[02:02.88] He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen
[02:05.86] Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
[02:08.86] Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
[02:11.85] The best thing he can do for the revolution
[02:13.85] Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon
[02:16.91] Oo
[02:18.19] Don't do a thing
[02:19.19] History will prove him wrong
[02:20.70] But, sir
[02:21.42] We have a war to fight, let's move along
[02:23.93] Strong words from Lee, someone oughta hold him to it
[02:26.44] I can't disobey direct orders
[02:28.44] Then I'll do it
[02:30.69] Alexander, you're the closest friend I've got
[02:34.21] Laurens, do not throw away your shot
