[SEABURY]
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury, and I present
“Free thoughts on the proceedings of the Continental Congress!”
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interest at heart
[MULLIGAN] Oh my god. Tear this dude apart
[SEABURY]
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don’t let them lead you astray
This congress does not speak for me
[BURR] Let him be
[SEABURY]
They’re playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame!
[HAMILTON] Yo!
| [SEABURY] | [HAMILTON] |
| Heed not the rabble who | He’d have you all unravel at the sound of |
| Scream— | screams |
| Revolution— | But the revolution is comin’ |
| They have not your interests | The have-nots are gonna win this |
| At heart— | It’s hard to listen to you with a straight face |
| Chaos and– | Chaos and bloodshed |
| Bloodshed | Already haunt us |
| are not— | Honestly, you shouldn’t even talk— |
| A solution— | And what about Boston? |
| Don’t let them lead you astray— | Look at the cost and all that we’ve lost |
| This Congress does not speak for | And you talk about Congress? |
| me | My dog speaks more eloquently than thee |
| You’re playing a dangerous game | But strangely, your mange is the same! |
| I pray the king shows you his mercy | Is he in Jersey? |
| For shame— | For the Revolution! |
| For shame! | For the Revolution! |
[SEABURY] Heed—
[HAMILTON]
If you repeat yourself again I’m gonna
[SEABURY & HAMILTON]
Scream—
[HAMILTON]
Honestly, look at me, please don’t read!
[SEABURY] Not your interest—
[HAMILTON]
Don’t modulate the key then not debate with me
Why should a tiny island across the sea
Regulate the price of tea?
[BURR] Alexander, please!
[HAMILTON]
Burr, I’d rather be divisive than indecisive
Drop the niceties
[ENSEMBLE]
Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!
[FULL COMPANY]
A message from the King!
