The Room Where It Happens (feat. Cristina Vee, Reinaeiry & Ying - 莺) - Annapantsu

Ah, Mr. Secretary! Mr. Burr, sir Did you hear the news about good old General Mercer? No You know Claremont street? Yeah They renamed it after him The Mercer legacy is secure Sure And all he had to do is die And that's a lot less work! We ought to give it a try Heh And how you gonna get your debt plan through? I guess I'm gonna have to finally listen to you. Really? Talk less, smile more Haha! Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the congress floor Now Madison and Jefferson are merciless Well, hate the sin love the sinner Hamilton! I'm sorry Burr I gotta go But decisions are happening over dinner Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room Diametrically opposed Foes They emerge with a compromise Having open doors that were previously closed Bros The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial power A system he can shape however he wants The Virginians emerge with the nation's capital And here's the pièce de résistance No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one really knows how the game is played The art of the trade How the sausage gets made We just assume that it happens But no one else is in the room where it happens (Thomas claims) Alexander was on Washington's doorstep one day in distress and disarray (Thomas claims) Alexander said, "I've nowhere else to turn" And basically begged me to join the fray (Thomas claims) I approached Madison and said "I know you hate him but let's hear what he has to say" (Thomas claims) Well, I arranged the meeting I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating But No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one really knows how the parties get to "Yes" The pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess We just assume that it happens But no else is in the room where it happens (Meanwhile) Madison is grappling with the fact That not every issue can be settled by committee (Meanwhile) Congress is fighting over where to put the capital It isn't pretty Jefferson approaches with the dinner invite Madison responds with Virginian insight Maybe we could solve one problem with another And win a victory for the Southerners In other words Ho ho A quid pro quo I suppose Wouldn't you like to work a little closer to home? Actually, I would Well, I propose the Potomac And you'll provide him his votes? Well, we'll see how it goes Let's go No! ...one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened No one else was in the room where it happened The room where it happened The room where it happened My God, In God We Trust But we never really know what got discussed Click boom! Then it happened But no one else was in the room where it happened (Alexander Hamilton) What did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river (Alexander Hamilton) Did Washington know about the dinner Was there Presidential pressure to deliver? (Alexander Hamilton) Or did you know even then it doesn't matter where you put the U.S. capital? Cause we'll have the banks, we're in the same spot You got more than you gave And I wanted what I got When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game But you don't get a win unless you play in the game Oh, you get love for it You get hate for it But you get nothing if you (Wait for it, wait for it, wait) God help and forgive me I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me What do you want Burr?

I can see the things you doin' And you think that I'm naive But when I get the goods on you She'll finally believe She says it's all just drama But every bubble's got to pop She's gonna see just what you're doin' And then you're finally gonna have to stop Don't think your gonna win this time 'Cause you better believe I'm gonna drop a dime on you I'll get ya (yeah), I'll get ya (yeah) And when I do, you're gonna be Busted (busted) I don't wanna put the hurt on you But you better believe me when I tell you That I finally got the dirt on you You're busted (busted) Yeah, she's finally gonna see your lies This is how it's gonna be When she finds out that I was always right You're busted There's a new cop on the beat And I'm bringing down the heat My eyes are wise to all your lies 'Cause you're not that discreet And I don't care what you heard 'Cause there's one six letter word It's gonna set me free (it's gonna set me free) It starts with the B (starts with the B) It goes B-U-S-T-E-D You are busted (busted) I don't wanna put the hurt on you But you better believe me when I tell you That I finally got the dirt on you You're busted (busted) Yeah, she's finally gonna see your lie This is how it's gonna be When she finds out that I was always right You're busted

Ever on and on I continue circling With nothing but my hate In a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't Break free, I'm Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and a paralyzing agony To tell me who I am! Who I was! Uncertainty enveloping my mind 'Til I can't break free, and Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, all the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night You could tell me what to say, you could tell me where to go But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know If I make another move, there'll be no more turning back Because everything would change, and it all would fade to black Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night? Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light? Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay or should I go? I've forgotten how to tell, did I ever even know? Can I take another step? I've done everything I can All the people that I see, they will never understand If I find a way to change, if I step into the light Then I'll never be the same and it all will fade to white Ever on and on I continue circling With nothing but my hate In a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't Break free, I'm Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and a paralyzing agony To tell me who I am! Who I was! Uncertainty enveloping my mind 'Til I can't break free, and Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, all the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night You could tell me what to say, you could tell me where to go But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know If I make another move, there'll be no more turning back Because everything would change, and it all would fade to black Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night? Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light? Am I hurting, am I sad? Should I stay or should I go? I've forgotten how to tell, did I ever even know? This time you're not hurting me! This time I will take a stand! All the hatred in my eyes building up an evil plan Standing lonely in the night, with the darkness by my side Looking deep inside myself, and revealing only fright If I make another move, if I take another step Then it would all fall apart, there'd be nothing of me left If I'm crying in the wind, if I'm crying in the night Will there ever be a way? Will my heart return to white? Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am? I've forgotten how to see, I've forgotten if I can If I open up my eyes, there'll be no more going back 'Cause I'll throw it all away, and it all will fade to black So I'm back here once again, so I'm back here once again Can I ever make a change? Will my heart begin to mend? Would you love me if I go? It feels like a heart attack But still everything's the same, and it all just fades to black

It's not simple to say That most days, I don't recognize me That these shoes, and this apron That place, and it's patrons Have taken more than I gave them It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be, although it's true I was never attention's sweet center But I still remember that girl She's imperfect, but she tries She is good, but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine And it's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you You're not what I asked for If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two For that girl that I knew Who be reckless just enough Who gets hurt But who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised And gets used by a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck And be scared of the life that's inside her Getting stronger each day 'Til it finally reminds her To fight just a little To bring back the fire in her eyes That's been gone, but used to be mine Oh, used to be mine She is messy, but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine
