 Really  Talk less, smile more  Ha  Do whatever it takes to get my plan on the Congress floor  Now, Madison and Jefferson are merciless  Well, hate the sin, dear the sinner  Hamilton  I'thou sad Burr, I've gotta become  But  Decisions are happening over dinner  Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room  Diametric'ly opposed, foes  They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were  Previously closed  Bros  The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial ability A system he can shape all the same he wants The Virginians emerge with the nation's majuscule And here'due south 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 information technology happened No one really knows how the game is played The art of the trade How the sausage gets made We only assume that it happens Only no ane else is in The room where it happens	    Thomas claims  Alexander was on Washington's doorstep i twenty-four hours In distress 'n disarray  Thomas claims  Alexander said  I've nowhere else to plough  And basic'ly begged me to bring together the fray  Thomas claims  I approached Madison and said I know you lot hate 'im, but let's hear what he has to say  Thomas claims  Well, I bundled 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 information technology happened  No ane else was in  The room where it happened The room where it happened The room where information technology happened  No one actually knows how the Parties get to yeah The pieces that are sacrificed in Ev'ry game of chess We merely assume that it happens But no one else is in The room where it happens	    Meanwhile  Madison is grappling with the fact that non ev'ry effect tin exist settled past committee  Meanwhile  Congress is fighting over where to put the capital  It isn't pretty Then Jefferson approaches with a dinner and invite And Madison responds with Virginian insight  Perchance nosotros can solve one problem with some other and win a victory for the Southerners, in other words  Oh ho  A quid pro quo  I suppose  Wouldn't yous like to work a little closer to habitation  Really, I would  Well, I suggest the Potomac  And you'll provide him his votes  Well, nosotros'll see how it goes  Let'southward 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 nosotros'll never really know what got discussed Click-boom and so it happened  And no one else was in the room where information technology 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 evangelize  Alexander Hamilton  Or did yous know, even and so, information technology doesn't affair Where you put the U.S. Capital  'Crusade we'll have the banks We're in the aforementioned spot  You got more yous gave  And I wanted what I got When you got skin in the game, you lot stay in the game Only y'all don't go a win unless y'all play in the game Oh, you become beloved for it, you go hate for it You get aught if y'all  Wait for it, look for it, wait  God assistance and forgive me I wanna build Something that's gonna Outlive me  What exercise you lot want, Burr What do y'all desire, Burr  If you lot stand for zilch Burr, then what do yous fall for	   I Wanna exist in The room where it happens The room where it happens I Wanna be in The room where it happens The room where it happens  I  Wanna exist In the room where it happens  I  I wanna exist in the room Oh Oh  I wanna be in The room where it happens The room where it happens The room where it happens  I wanna be in the room Where information technology happens The room where information technology happens The room where it happen   The art of the compromise  Hold your nose and close your eyes  We want our leaders to save the 24-hour interval  But we don't get a say in what they trade away  We dream of a brand new start  Only nosotros dream in the dark for the nigh part  Night equally a tomb where it happens  I've got to be in The room (where it happens)  I've got to be (the room where information technology happens)  I've got to be (the room where it happens)  Oh, I've got to be in The room where it happens I've got to exist, I've gotta be, I've gotta be In the room  Click boom
