{[Eliza:]
Stay alive...

[Eliza/Angelica/Ensemble women:]
Stay alive...

[Hamilton:]
I have never seen the General so despondent
I have taken over writing all his correspondence
Congress writes, "George, attack the British forces."
I shoot back, we have resorted to eating our horses}

"Not the pure bred I bought Hercules!" Thomas screeched

{Local merchants deny us equipment, assistance
They only take British money, so sing a song of sixpence

[Washington:]
The cavalry's not coming

[Hamilton:]
But, sir!

[Washington:]
Alex, listen. There's only one way for us to win this
Provoke outrage, outright

[Hamilton:]
That's right

[Washington:]
Don't engage, strike by night
Remain relentless 'til their troops take flight}

"Sneaky" James remarked

{[Hamilton:]
Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight

[Washington:]
Outrun

[Hamilton:]
Outrun

[Washington:]
Outlast

[Hamilton:]
Outlast}

"Please stop copying me son" Washington said

"It's not me!" Alex said

"Did he not correct Washington" Lafayette said in amazement

Y/n shushed him "Don't point it out!"

{[Washington:]
Hit 'em quick, get out fast

[Hamilton:]
Chick-a-plao!}

"I never.." Alex blushed

Thomas snorted and laughed

{[Washington:]
Stay alive 'til this horror show is past
We're gonna fly a lot of flags half-mast

[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette:]
Raise a glass!

[Mulligan:]
I go back to New York and my apprenticeship

[Lafayette:]
I ask for French aid, I pray that France has sent a ship}

"And they did" Washington smiles proudly at Lafayette

{[Laurens:]
I stay at work with Hamilton
We write essays against slavery
And every day's a test of our camaraderie and bravery}

"Sure that's what you guys were doing.." Thomas mused earning a slap from James

{[Hamilton:]
We cut supply lines, we steal contraband
We pick and choose our battles and places to take a stand
And ev'ry day
"Sir, entrust me with a command"
And ev'ry day

[Washington:]
No

[Hamilton:]
He dismisses me out of hand}

Thomas snorted and chuckled

{[Hamilton (Eliza/Angelica):]
Instead of me (Stay alive...)
He promotes
Charles Lee ([Lee:] Charles Lee)
Makes him second-in-command:

[Lee:]
I'm a General. Whee!}

"Worst mistake ever.." Hercules said

{[Hamilton:]
Yeah. He's not the choice I would have gone with

[Hamilton/Laurens/Lafayette:]
He shits the bed at the Battle of Monmouth}

"Good god.." Washington held his head

{[Washington:]
Ev'ryone attack!

[Lee:]
Retreat!

[Washington:]
Attack!

[Lee:]
Retreat!

[Washington:]
What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet!

[Lee:]
But there's so many of them!

[Washington:]
I'm sorry, is this not your speed?!
Hamilton!

[Hamilton:]
Ready, sir!

[Washington:]
Have Lafayette take the lead!

[Hamilton:]
Yes, sir!}

"You thought he was gonna promote you!" Thomas laughed

{[Laurens:]
A thousand soldiers die in a hundred degree heat

[Lafayette:]
As we snatch a stalemate from the jaws of defeat

[Hamilton:]
Charles Lee was left behind
Without a pot to piss in
He started sayin' this to anybody who would listen:

[Lee:]
Washington cannot be left alone to his devices
Indecisive, from crisis to crisis
The best thing he can do for the revolution
Is turn n' go back to plantin' tobacco in Mount Vernon

[Company:]
Oo!}

"Ooo we were so ready to beat his head in" Lafayette said

{[Washington:]
Don't do a thing. History will prove him wrong

[Hamilton:]
But, sir!

[Washington:]
We have a war to fight, let's move along

[Laurens:]
Strong words from Lee, someone oughta hold him to it

[Hamilton:]
I can't disobey direct orders

[Laurens:]
Then I'll do it
Alexander, you're the closest friend I've got}

"Sure...friends" Alex said

{[Hamilton:]
Laurens, do not throw away your shot}

John smiled widely "I know what's next!"
