F Ev’ry action has its equal, opposite reactions Eb Thanks to Hamilton, our cab’net’s fractured into factions F Try not to crack under the stress, we’re breaking down like fractions Eb We smack each other in the press, and we don’t print retractions F/C Bbm/Db I get no satisfaction witnessing his fits of passion Dm7 Eb7 The way he primps and preens and dresses like the pits of fashion F Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration Eb As Wall Street robs ‘em blind in search of chips to cash in F This prick is askin’ for someone to bring him to task Ebsus4 Eb Somebody gimme some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him F I’ll pull the trigger on him, someone load the gun and cock it Ebsus4 Eb While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket
[Jefferson and Burr]
