Farmer Refuted Songtext
von Thayne Jasperson, Lin‐Manuel Miranda & Cast

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 interest at heart

(Oh my god. Tear this dude apart)

Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don′t let them lead you astray
This congress does not speak for me

(Let him be)

They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame, for shame!

Yo! He′d have you all unravel at the sound of screams (Heed not the rabble who scream)
But the revolution is comin' (Revolution!)
The have-nots are gonna win this (They have not your interests at heart)


It's hard to listen to you with a straight face
Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us (Chaos and Bloodshed are not a solution)
Honestly, you shouldn′t even talk and what about Boston (Don′t let them lead you astray)
Look at the cost of all that we've lost

And you talk about Congress? (This Congress does not speak for me)
My dog speaks more eloquently than thee
(You′re playing a dangerous game)
But strangely, your mange is the same!
(I pray the king shows you his mercy)
Is he in Jersey?

(For shame—) For the Revolution!
(For shame!) For the Revolution!
(Heed—) If you repeat yourself again I'm gonna
(Scream—) Honestly, look at me, please don′t read!
(Not your interest—) Don't modulate the key then not debate with me

Why should a tiny island across the sea
Regulate the price of tea?

Alexander, please!

Burr, I′d rather be divisive than indecisive
Drop the niceties

Silence! A message from the King!
A message from the King!
A message from the King!
