WASHINGTON
Let me tell you what I wish I’d known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

BURR

JEFFERSON
I’ll give him this: his financial system is a
Work of genius. I couldn’t undo it if I tried
And I tried

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it, buthe doesn’t get enough credit
For all the credit he gave us

WASHINGTON AND COMPANY
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?

Every other founding father's story gets told
Every other founding father gets to grow old

But when you’re gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
