Hamilton: Washington On Your Side

Hello everyone! I am happy to bring to you one of the best musicals in the past decade, HAMILTON. I also would like to apologize for my tardiness with uploading this musical, some school things came up and that had to go first.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this song, all songs belong to the writer Lin-Manuel Miranda. I am just bringing them to you.

[EggsBenedict]

Meanwhile Hamilton: *passing out from exhaustion, writing multiple things, hasn't slept or eaten anything in days*

[sithspit]

I’ll still never forget what it was like to listen to this for the first time

[jordanburton]

The harmony on the very last “side” is beautiful.

[RandomPerson-lkwe]

It must be nice, it must be nice, to have Nationwide on your side.

[Teacakes]

I never realized the “Washington in his pocket” isn’t just him saying he has Washington on his side but as well as most the money now. (Washington being on money)

Here are the lyrics, if anyone needs them!
Washington On Your Side - LYRICS

[BURR]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side...

[JEFFERSON]
Ev’ry action has its equal, opposite reaction
Thanks to Hamilton, 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
Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration
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.

[JEFFERSON AND BURR]
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side.

Look back at the Bill of Rights—

[MADISON]
Which I wrote!

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
The ink hasn’t dried
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side.

[MADISON]
So he’s doubled the size of the government
Wasn’t the trouble with much of our previous government size?

[BURR]
Look in his eyes!

[JEFFERSON]
See how he lies!

[MADISON]
Follow the scent of his enterprise

[JEFFERSON]
Centralizing national credit
And making American credit competitive.

[MADISON]
If we don’t stop it, we aid and abet it

[JEFFERSON]
I have to resign.

[MADISON]
Somebody has to stand up for the South!

[BURR]
Somebody has to stand up to his mouth!

[JEFFERSON]
If there’s a fire you’re trying to douse—

[MADISON AND JEFFERSON]
You can’t put it out from inside the house!

[JEFFERSON]
I’m in the cabinet. I am complicit in
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!

[MADISON/BURR/JEFFERSON]
Oh!
This immigrant isn’t somebody we chose
Oh!
This immigrant’s keeping us all on our toes
Oh!
Let’s show these Federalists who they’re up against!
Oh!

[JEFFERSON/MADISON]
Southern motherfuckin’—

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Democratic-Republicans!


Oh!

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Now follow the money and see where it goes

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh!

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
Because every second the Treasury grows

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh!

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
If we follow the money and see where it leads
Get in the weeds, look for the seeds
Of Hamilton’s misdeeds.

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
It must be nice. It must be nice...

[MADISON]
Follow the money and see where it goes

JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR
It must be nice. It must be nice...

[JEFFERSON]
The emperor has no clothes

[JEFFERSON/MADISON/BURR]
We won’t be invisible.
We won’t be denied. Still
It must be nice, it must be nice
To have Washington on your side.

[yeetskeetgay]

[twentyonepancakes]

Ok, so when I was just finding the hamilton fandom, I made a playlist of my favorite hamilton songs. Alot of my friends told me Washington On Your side was a good song, and once I heard the "it must be nice.. it must be nice, to have Washington on your side.." I was like YEP ADD TO THE PLAYLIST

[thegirlofmanyfandoms]

1:22 I like to flail my arms and sing with Madison "WhIcH i WrOtE!!!"

[Jurassiccanonking]

I never had a particular love of musicals or Hamilton but I saw it in person at the Tennessee Theater and it was an incredible experience.

[mariannawesoowska]

In the musical Heathers there is a reprise song "Blue" where at one point students and teachers walk in waving their hands (and singing Woah, Woah, Woah
Wooooaaaahh!) and always at that moment 02:03 I imagine the choir going on stage and dancing the same way.

[Tracks]

I look forward to more videos.Keep it up!

[isthatreece.]

[JaimeAllStarXp]

I'm in the cabinet, I am complicit
And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it

This is the difference, this kid is out
Oh! This immigrant isn't somebody we chose
Oh! This immigrant's keeping us all on our toes
Oh! Let's show these Federalists what they're up against
Oh! Southern motherfucking Democratic-Republicans

[emmay]
