Blow Us All Away Songtext

Meet the latest graduate of King′s College
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze and astonish
The scholars say I got that same virtuosity and brains as my Pop′s
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops

I'm only nineteen, but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride
I used to hear him say that someday I would

Blow us all away!

Ladies, I′m looking for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father′s legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I′m making my father proud

I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was going to see a play

Well, I'll go visit his box

God, you′re a fox!

Hey, y'all look pretty good in your frocks
How ′bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?


Okay!
Yeah!

Blow, blow, blow us all away!

George! George!

Shh, I'm tryna watch a show!

You should've watched your mouth
Before you talked about my father though!

I didn′t say anything that wasn′t true
Your father's a scoundrel and so it seems are you

(Ooh!)

It′s like that?

Yeah, I don't fool around
I′m not your little schoolboy friends

I'll see you on the dueling ground!
That is unless you want to step outside and go now

I know where to find you
Piss off, I′m watching the show now

Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you woulda let it slide and I was not about to

Slow down


I came to ask you for advice, this is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school

Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?

He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talk cease

Where is this happening?

Across the river in Jersey

Everything is legal in New Jersey

All right
So this is what you're gonna do
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affair

But what if he decides to shoot, then I′m a goner

No, he′ll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
To take someone′s life, that is something you can't shake
Phillip, your mother can′t take another heartbreak

Father—

Promise me
You don't want this young man′s blood on your conscience

Okay, I promise

Come back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart
Make me proud, son

My name is Phillip
I am a poet
And I'm a little nervous, but I can′t show it
I′m sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide!
Mr. Eacker! How was the rest of your show?

I′d rather skip the pleasantries, let's go
Grab your pistol

Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten

(Count to ten!)

Look him in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly, aim your gun towards the sky!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-
