Lyrics Stay Alive - Lin-Manuel Miranda
Stay
alive
Stay
alive
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
Local
merchants
deny
us
equipment,
assistance
They
only
take
British
money
So
sing
a
song
o'
sixpence!
The
cavalry's
not
coming
But
sir!
Alex,
listen,
there's
only
one
way
for
us
to
win
this
Provoke
outrage,
outright
That's
right
Don't
engage,
strike
by
night
Remain
relentless
'til
their
troops
take
flight
Make
it
impossible
to
justify
the
cost
of
the
fight
(uh-huh)
Outrun
(outrun)
Outlast
(outlast)
Hit
'em
quick,
get
out
fast
(chick-a-blast)
Stay
alive
until
this
horror
show
is
past
We're
gonna
fly
a
lot
of
flags
half-mast
(Raise
a
glass)
I
go
back
to
New
York
and
my
apprenticeship
I
ask
for
French
aid,
I
pray
that
France
has
sent
a
ship
I
stay
at
work
with
Hamilton,
we
write
essays
against
slavery
And
ev'ry
day's
a
test
of
our
comraderie
and
bravery
We
cut
supply
lines,
we
steal
contraband
We
pick
and
choose
our
battles
and
places
to
take
a
stand
And
every
day:
Sir,
entrust
me
with
a
command!
And
every
day:
No
He
dismisses
me
out
of
hand
(Stay
alive)
Instead
of
me
he
promotes
Charles
Lee
Makes
him
second
in
command
(I'm
a
general,
weeee!)
Yeah
He's
not
the
choice
I
would've
gone
with
He
shits
the
bed
at
the
Battle
of
Monmouth
Everyone
attack!
(Retreat!)
Attack!
(Retreat!)
What
are
you
doing
Lee?
Get
back
on
your
feet!
But
there's
so
many
of
them!
I'm
sorry,
is
this
not
your
speed?
Hamilton!
Ready
sir
Have
Lafayette
take
the
lead!
Yes
sir
A
thousand
soldiers
die
in
a
hundred-degree
heat
As
we
snatch
a
stalemate
from
the
jaws
of
defeat
Charles
Lee
was
left
behind
without
a
pot
to
piss
in
He
started
saying
this
to
anybody
who
would
listen:
Washington
can
not
be
left
alone
to
his
devices
Indecisive
from
crisis
to
crisis
The
best
thing
he
can
do
for
the
Revolution
Is
turn
and
go
back
to
planting
tobacco
in
Mount
Vernon
Don't
do
a
thing,
history
will
prove
him
wrong
But
sir!
We
have
a
war
to
fight,
let's
move
along
Strong
words
from
Lee,
someone
oughtta
hold
him
to
it
I
can't
disobey
direct
orders
Then
I'll
do
it
Alexander,
you're
the
closest
friend
I've
got
Laurens,
do
not
throw
away
your
shot
