Schuyler Defeated

Lyrics

Look, grandpa's in the paper
 War hero Philip Schuyler loses senate seat to young upstart Aaron Burr
 Grandpa just lost his seat in the Senate
 Sometimes, that's how it goes
 Daddy's gonna find out any minute
 I'm sure he already knows
 Further down
 Further down
 "Let's meet the newest Senator from New York..."
 New York
 Our Senator
 Burr?
 Since when are you a Democratic-Republican?
 Since being one put me on the up and up again
 No one knows who you are or what you do
 They don't need to know me, they don't like you
 Excuse me?
 Oh, Wall Street thinks you're great
 You'll always be adored by the things you create
 But upstate
 Wait
 People think you're crooked!
 And Schuyler's seat was up for grabs, so I took it
 I've always considered you a friend
 I don't see why that has to end
 You changed parties to run against my father-in-law
 I changed parties to seize the opportunity I saw
 I swear, your pride will be the death of us all!
 Beware: it goeth before the fall
