Текст песни 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
