lirik lagu (whom i shot) – sam wurdemann

[james wilkinson]
two men ten paces apart, now that’s a story
i’m sure you’ve heard it by now, one dies in glory
but the other man survives another thirty*two years
his greatest fears will come and get him, i’m sure you’ve met him

[johnathan dayton]
aaron burr, pictured here at fourty*eight
not looking so great, a public enemy of the state, a reprobate
a politician well past his prime
unwanted by his home, now wanted for his crimes

[thomas jefferson]
he started the day, enragеd, pacing away in his homestead
hoping to make a man drop stonе*stead
had he known then that would be the moment that defined him
he might’ve left the whole thing behind him

[theodosia alston burr]
indefensible, morally reprehensible
new jersey and new york necessitated life with no parole
a sentence non*compensable, a festival of hate
a chorus of woes chanting for twenty*four hours straight

[all]
run him out of town, we must see it that he’s dead
no need for a trial, mop the blood up with his head
run him out of town (murderer! criminal!) let that k!ller pay the price (scoundrel! reprobate!)
strip him of his wares (blackguard! lowlife) and demean him of his rights (devil incarnate!)
hang him for the life he’s slain
so the life he’s claimed won’t die in vain
[johnathan dayton, ensemble]
burr’s forced to retreat to the deep south
the message is out, spread in a day by word of mouth
“colonel burr k!lled secretary hamilton in duel!”
“our vice president is a monster! “how could anyone be so cruel?”

[thomas jefferson]
folks debated if he regretted doing it
he might’ve only regretted how we came viewing it
the deed itself was justified, reception was the issue
how he’d wish you’d switch a pitchfork for a tissue

[all]
such a fool, such a lonely, lowly man
how ironic that he does all that he can
to then ultimately leave a tarnished legacy behind
oh, what we’d give to go in your mind (in your mind)
in your, in your, in your mind!

[aaron burr]
so much crying, what is this, a funeral?
what happened here was no more of a duel
than the numerable instances of murder, it seems that time forgot
but my friend, alexander hamilton, whom i shot

[aaron burr]
my life means nothing, all that matters is he’s dead
i’m okay guys, thanks for asking! was it something that i said?
did i end the revolution when i put him down to bed
or did the bullet in his spine stop the ideas in his head?
[aaron burr]
what’s done is done, but i’m not longer in good grace with governor clinton
n0body f*cks with the clintons
so now i’ve gotta beat it, i’m not safe in new york
i already see the torches and the pitchforks

[all]
give him no remorse, (he’s getting away!) he’s the lowest of the low (we’ll have him hanged!)
tell your children he’s a murderous ingrate!

[johnathan dayton, all]
before we begin it’s important to establish that every player in this story
sucked b*lls
our main man is only regarded a black*hearted monster because he made a lot of
bad calls

[verse 11: johnathan dayton, ensemble, thomas jefferson, james wilkinson ]
he stood aside at every chance of glory that he got
he threw away every personal lesson he was taught
he k!lled the man that got to put his face on all the currency
he cursed our third president, and raised the failed insurgency

[james wilkinson]
thats a part of the story you may not know
aaron burr, at a loss of what to do, or where to go
once our number two, now america’s greatest foe
does so much jacked up sh*t you could create a second show
so!
[aaron burr, all]
run him out of town, give him no chance to make amends
(this is not the end for me, i have so much left to do)
chase him further down, our leading man will be avenged
(all of you just wait and see, it is time to start anew)
capture him, the spineless curr, may they curse the name of aaron burr!

[johnathan dayton, thomas jefferson]
the other founding fathers, even with their discontent for burr
could never have expected his attempt to be an emperor
who could’ve guessed a murderer with bounties worth a bullion
would go on to become his own american napoleon?

[james wilkinson, all]
he’s on the town periphery now, spot him if you can
what’s he got fermenting? what’s his latest evil plan?
in new york you’re a wanted man

[aaron burr, all]
i’ve got a legacy to mend (in your mind)
sins that need some sinning (in your mind)
no, this is not the end (in your mind)
this is only the beginning! (in your, in your*)
in the mind of aaron burr!
