“Death doesn’t discriminate/Between the sinners and the saints/It takes and it takes and it takes/History obliterates/In every picture it paints/It paints me in all my mistakes/When Alexander aimed at the sky/He may have been the first one to die/But I’m the one who paid for it/I survived, but I paid for it/Now I’m the villain in your history/I was too young and blind to see/I should’ve known, I should’ve known the world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me/The world was wide enough/For both Hamilton and me.”
– Aaron Burr

“They say George Washington’s yielding his power and stepping away. Is that true? I wasn’t aware that was something/A person could do. I’m perplexed/Are they going to keep on replacing whoever’s in charge?/If so, who’s next? There’s nobody else in their “country”/Who looms quite as large.”
– King George

“A game of chess/Where France is queen and kingless/We signed a treaty with a king/Whose head is now in a basket/Would you like to take it out/And ask it? Oh, should we honor our treaty, King Louis’ head?/”Ah, do whatever you want/I’m super dead.”

Life doesn’t discriminate, between the sinners and the saints. It takes and it takes and it takes. And we keep on living anyway. We rise and we fall. We fall and we break. And we make our mistakes. And if there’s a reason why I’m still alive when so many have died – then I’m willing to…wait for it.
Hamilton
