Revolution Quotes

[Seabury]
Hear ye, hear ye! My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present “Free Thoughts on the
Proceedings of the Continental Congress!”
Heed not the rabble
Who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart.

[Mulligan]
Oh my God. Tear this dude apart.

[Seabury]
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don’t let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me.

[Burr]
Let him be.

[Seabury]
They’re playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame…

[Hamilton, Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
We are — meant to be

[Hamilton]
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shitting on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then King George turns around, runs a spending spree
He ain't never gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
ENTER ME!

[Lafayette, Mulligan, Laurens]
(He says in parentheses)

[Hamilton]
Don't be shocked when your history book
Mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually you'll see my ascendancy

And I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy, and hungry
And I'm not throwing away my shot!

[Hamilton]
It’s time to take a shot

[Hamilton, Mulligan, Laurens]
Rise up, rise up
It’s time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
Time to take a shot
Rise up
Take a shot, a shot, a shot,
A-yo, it's time to take a shot
Time to take a shot
And I am
Not throwing away my

[Company]
Not throwing away my shot!

[Hamilton]
Yo!
He’d have you all unravel at the
Sound of screams but the
Revolution is comin’
The have-nots are gonna win this
It’s hard to listen to you with a straight face

Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us,
Honestly you shouldn’t even talk.
And what about Boston?
Look at the cost,
N’ all that we’ve lost
N’ you talk about Congress?!
My dog speaks more eloquently than thee!
But strangely, your mange is the same
Is he in Jersey?
For the revolution!

[Seabury]
Heed not the rabble
Who scream revolution,
They have not your interests at heart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don’t let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me
They’re playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame for shame

[Company] For the revolution!

[Seabury] Heed —

[Hamilton] If you repeat yourself again I’m gonna —

[Seabury] Scream —

[Hamilton] Honestly, look at me, please don’t read!

[Seabury] Not your interests —

[Hamilton] Don’t modulate the key then not debate with me!
Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?

[Burr] Alexander, please!

[Hamilton] Burr, I’d rather be divisive than indecisive,
Drop the niceties

[Company] Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!

[All] A message from the King!
