the schuyler sisters
Singer:miranda, lin-manuel
there's nothing rich folks love more
than going downtown and slummin' it with the poor
they pull up in their carriages and gawk
at the students in the common
take philip schuyler: the man is loaded
but little does he know that
sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at
daddy said to be home by sundown
daddy doesn't need to know
daddy said not to go downtown
the revolution's happening in new york
it's bad enough daddy wants to go to war
people shouting in the square
it's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
remind me what we're looking for. she's lookin' for me!
i'm lookin' for a mind at work
i'm lookin' for a mind at work!
i'm lookin' for a mind at work!
wooh! there's nothin' like summer in the city
someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
but your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels
you searching for an urchin who can give you ideals?
i've been reading common sense by thomas paine
so men say that i'm intense or i'm insane
you want a revolution? i want a revelation
so listen to my declaration: we hold these truths to be self-evident
