Lyrics
0:08It must be nice it must be nice
0:12To have Washington on your side
0:15It must be nice it must be nice
0:19To have Washington on your side
0:22Every action has an equal opposite reaction
0:26Thanks to Hamilton our cabinet's fractured into factions
0:29Try not to crack under the stress
0:31We're breaking down like fractions
0:33We smack each other in the press
0:35And we don't print retractions
0:36I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion
0:40The way he primps and preens
0:42And dresses like the pits of fashion
0:44Our poorest citizens our farmers
0:46Live ration to ration
0:47As Wall Street robs 'em blind
0:49In search of chips to cash in
0:51This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task
0:54Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask
0:56So we can at last unmask him
0:58I'll pull the trigger
0:59On him someone load the gun and cock it
1:01While we were all watching he got
1:03Washington in his pocket
1:05It must be nice it must be nice
1:10To have Washington on your side
1:12It must be nice it must be nice
1:17To have Washington on your side
1:20Look back at the Bill of Rights
1:22Which I wrote
1:23The ink hasn't dried
1:27It must be nice it must be nice
1:31To have Washington on your side
1:34So he's doubled the size of the government
1:35Wasn't the trouble with much
1:36Of our previous government size
1:38Look in his eyes
1:39See how he lies
1:40Follow the scent of his enterprise
1:41Centralizing national credit and making
1:44American credit competitive
1:45If we don't stop it we aid and abet it
1:47I have to resign
1:48Somebody has to stand up for the South
1:50Well somebody has to stand up to his mouth
1:51If there's a fire you're trying to douse
1:53You can't put it out from inside the house
1:55I'm in the cabinet I am complicit
1:57And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it
1:59If Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents
2:01This is the difference this kid is out
2:03Oh this immigrant isn't somebody we chose
2:07Oh this immigrant's keeping us all on our toes
2:10Oh let's show these Federalists what they're up against
2:14Oh southern motherf**king Democratic-Republicans
2:17Oh now follow the money and see where it goes
2:21Oh because every second the treasury grows
2:24Oh if we follow the money and see where it leads
2:27Get in the weeds look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds
2:31It must be nice it must be nice
2:36Follow the money and see where it goes
2:39It must be nice it must be nice
2:44The emperor has no clothes
2:46We won't be invisible
2:49We won't be denied
2:52Still it must be nice it must be nice
2:57To have Washington on your side
It must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side It must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side Every action has an equal opposite reaction Thanks to Hamilton our cabinet's fractured into factions Try not to crack under the stress We're breaking down like fractions We smack each other in the press And we don't print retractions I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion The way he primps and preens And dresses like the pits of fashion Our poorest citizens our farmers Live ration to ration As Wall Street robs 'em blind In search of chips to cash in This prick is asking for someone to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on his vacuous mask So we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger On him someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching he got Washington in his pocket It must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side It must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side Look back at the Bill of Rights Which I wrote The ink hasn't dried It must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side So he's doubled the size of the government Wasn't the trouble with much Of our previous government size Look in his eyes See how he lies Follow the scent of his enterprise Centralizing national credit and making American credit competitive If we don't stop it we aid and abet it I have to resign Somebody has to stand up for the South Well somebody has to stand up to his mouth If there's a fire you're trying to douse You can't put it out from inside the house I'm in the cabinet I am complicit And watching and grabbing the power and kiss it If Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents This is the difference this kid is out Oh this immigrant isn't somebody we chose Oh this immigrant's keeping us all on our toes Oh let's show these Federalists what they're up against Oh southern motherf**king Democratic-Republicans Oh now follow the money and see where it goes Oh because every second the treasury grows Oh if we follow the money and see where it leads Get in the weeds look for the seeds of Hamilton's misdeeds It must be nice it must be nice Follow the money and see where it goes It must be nice it must be nice The emperor has no clothes We won't be invisible We won't be denied Still it must be nice it must be nice To have Washington on your side
