[00:07.76] It must be nice, it must be nice

[00:12.25] To have Washington on your side

[00:15.50] It must be nice, it must be nice

[00:19.02] To have Washington on your side

[00:22.03] Every action has an equal opposite reaction

[00:25.50] Thanks to Hamilton, our cabinet's fractured into factions

[00:29.00] Try not to crack under the stress, we're breaking down like fractions

[00:32.74] We smack each other in the press, and we don't print retractions

[00:35.99] I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion

[00:40.00] The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion

[00:43.49] Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration

[00:47.26] As Wall Street robs 'em blind in search of chips to cash in

[00:50.74] This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task

[00:53.98] Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask so we can, at last, unmask him

[00:58.50] I'll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it

[01:01.49] While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket

[01:05.74] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:09.24] To have Washington on your side

[01:12.47] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:16.24] To have Washington on your side

[01:19.48] Look back at the Bill of Rights (which I wrote!)

[01:23.02] The ink hasn't dried

[01:27.48] It must be nice, it must be nice

[01:30.99] To have Washington on your side

[01:33.74] So he's doubled the size of the government

[01:35.49] Wasn't the trouble with much of our previous government size

[01:37.99] Look in his eyes

[01:39.08] See how he lies

[01:40.05] Follow the scent of his enterprise

[01:41.57] Centralizing national credit and making American credit competitive

[01:45.30] If we don't stop it, we aid and abed it!

[01:47.04] I have to resign!

[01:48.04] Somebody has to stand up for the South!

[01:49.56] Well, somebody has to stand up to his mouth!

[01:51.31] If there's a fire you're trying to douse

[01:53.32] You can't put it out from inside the house!

[01:55.07] I'm in the cabinet, I am complicit and watching and grabbing the power and kiss it

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

[02:01.05] This is the difference, this kid is out!

[02:03.05] Oh! This immigrant isn't somebody we chose!

[02:06.05] Oh! This immigrant's keeping us all on our toes!

[02:09.82] Oh! Let's show these Federalists what they're up against!

[02:13.33] Oh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-Republicans!

[02:17.56] Oh! Now follow the money and see where it goes!

[02:20.82] Oh! Because every second, the treasury grows!

[02:24.30] Oh! If we follow the money and see where it leads

[02:28.30] Get in the weeds, look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds!

[02:31.55] It must be nice, it must be nice

[02:36.78] Follow the money and see where it goes!

[02:38.29] It must be nice, it must be nice

[02:43.31] The emperor has no clothes

[02:45.80] We won't be invisible

[02:48.84] We won't be denied!

[02:51.80] Still, it must be nice, it must be nice

[02:56.82] To have Washington on your side
