Schuyler Defeated Lyrics
Look!
Grandpa`s in the paper!
"War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr"
Grandpa just lost his seat in the senate
Sometimes that`s how it goes
Daddy`s gonna find out any minute
I`m sure he already knows
Further down
Further down
Let`s meet the newest senator from New York
New York
Our senator
Burr?
Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
Since being one put me on the up and up again
No one knows who you are or what you do
They don`t need to know me

They don`t like you
Excuse me?
Oh, Wall Street thinks you`re great
You`ll always be adored by the things you create
But upstate—
Wait
—People think you`re crooked
Schuyler`s seat was up for grabs so I took it
I`ve always considered you a friend
I don`t see why that has to end
You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
I swear your pride will be the death of us all
Beware, it goeth before the fall
