We Know歌词

Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton - The Reynolds Pamphlet
Mr. Vice President
Mr. Madison
Senator Burr
What is this
We have the check stubs from separate accounts
Almost a thousand dollars paid
in different amounts
To a Mr. James Reynolds way back in 1791
Is that what you have are you done
You are uniquely situated
by virtue of your position
Though virtue is not a word
I'd apply to this situation
To seek financial gain astray
from your sacred nation
And the evidence suggests you
engaged in speculation
An immigrant embezzling our government funds
I can almost see the headline
your career is done
I hope you saved some money
for your daughter and son
Ya best go on run back
where ya come from
Ha You don't even know
what you're asking me to confess
Confess
You have nothing
I don't have to tell you anything at all
Unless
Unless
If I can prove that
I never broke the law
Do you promise not to
tell another soul what you saw
No one else was in the room
where it happened
Is that a yes
Um yes
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
Whaaaat
She courted me
Escorted me to bed
And when she had me in the 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 checking 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 reason 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
My god
Gentlemen let's go
So
The people won't know what we know
Burr how do I know you won't
use this against me the next time
we go toe to toe
Alexander rumors only grow
And we both know what we know编辑于2023/10/05更新
