washington on your side
Singer:lin-manuel miranda
to have washington on your side
to have washington on your side
ev'ry action has its equal
our cab'net's fractured into factions
try not to crack under the stress
we're breaking down like fractions
we smack each other in the press
and we don't print retractions
i get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion
the way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion
as wall street robs 'em blind in search of chips to cash in
this prick is askin' for someone to bring him to task
somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him
i'll pull the trigger on him
someone load the gun and cock it
while we were all watching
he got washington in his pocket
to have washington on your side
to have washington on your side
look back at the bill of rights
to have washington on your side
so he's doubled the size of the government
wasn't the trouble with much of our previous government size?
follow the scent of his enterprise
centralizing national credit
and making american credit competitive
if we don't stop it we aid and abet it
somebody has to stand up for the south!
somebody has to stand up to his mouth!
if there's a fire you're trying to douse
you can't put it out from inside the house
watching him grabbin' at power and kissin' it
if washington isn't gon' listen
to disciplined dissidents
this is the difference: this kid is out!
this immigrant isn't somebody we chose
this immigrant's keeping us all on our toes
let's show these federalists who they're up against!
let's follow the money and see where it goes
because every second the treasury grows
if we follow the money and see where it leads
look for the seeds of hamilton's misdeeds
follow the money and see where it goes
the emperor has no clothes
to have washington on your side
