original broadway cast of hamilton – we know lyrics

[hamilton]
mr. vice president
mr. madison
senator burr
what is this?

[jefferson]
we have the check stubs from separate accounts

[madison]
almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts

[burr]
to a mr. james reynolds way back in
seventeen ninety-one

[hamilton]
is that what you have? are you done?

[madison]
you are uniquely situated by virtue of your position

[jefferson]
though virtue is not a word i’d apply to this situation

[madison]
to seek financial gain, to stray from your sacred mission

[jefferson]
and the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation

[burr]
an immigrant embezzling our government funds

[jefferson/madison]
i can almost see the headline, your career is done

[burr]
i hope you saved some money for your daughter and sons

[burr/jefferson/madison]
ya best g’wan run back where ya come from

[hamilton]
ha, you don’t even know what you’re asking me to confess

[jefferson/madison/burr]
confess

[hamilton]
you have nothing, i don’t have to tell you anything at all
unless

[jefferson/madison/burr]
unless

[hamilton]
if i can prove that i never broke the law
do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?

[burr]
no one else was in the room where it happened

[hamilton]
is that a yes?

[jefferson/madison/burr]
um, yes

[burr]
“dear sir, i hope this letter finds you in good health
and in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
in the pockets of people like me, down on their luck
you see, that was my wife who you decided to”

[jefferson]
whaaaat

[hamilton]
she courted me
escorted me to bed and when she had me in a corner
that’s when reynolds extorted me
for a sordid fee
i paid him quarterly
i may have mortally wounded my prospects
but my papers are orderly
as you can see i kept a record of every check in my checkered history
check it again against your list and see consistency
i never spent a cent that wasn’t mine
you sent the dogs after my scent, that’s fine
yes, i have reasons for shame
but i have not committed treason and sullied my good name
as you can see i have done nothing to provoke legal action
are my answers to your satisfaction?

[jefferson]
my god

[madison]
gentlemen, let’s go

[hamilton]
so?

[jefferson and madison]
the people won’t know what we know

[hamilton]
burr
how do i know you won’t use this against me
the next time we go toe to toe?

[burr]
alexander, rumors only grow
and we both know what we know
