[Verse 1]
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Madison, Senator Burr
What is this?
[Verse 2]
We have the check stubs from separate accounts
Almost a thousand dollars paid in different amounts
To a Mr. James Reynolds way back in 1791
Is that what you have, are you done?
[Verse 3]
You are uniquely situated by virtue of your position
Though "virtue" is not a word I'd apply to this situation
To seek financial gain astray from your sacred nation
And the evidence suggests you engaged in speculation
[Verse 4]
An immigrant embezzling our government funds
I can almost see the headline, your career is done
I hope you saved some money for your daughter and son
Ya best g'wan run back where ya come from!
[Verse 5]
Ha! You don't even know what you're asking me to confess (Confess)
You have nothing, I don't have to tell you anything at all, unless (Unless)
If I can prove that I never broke the law
Do you promise not to tell another soul what you saw?
No one else was in the room where it happened
Is that a yes?
Um, yes
[Verse 6]
"Dear sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to-"
What?
[Verse 7]
She courted me, escorted me to bed
And when she had me in the corner
That's when Reynolds extorted me
For a sordid fee, I paid him quarterly
I may have mortally wounded my prospects
But my papers are orderly
As you can see, I kept a record
Of every check in my checkered history
Check it again against your list and see consistency
I never spent a cent that wasn't mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that's fine
[Verse 8]
Yes, I have reason for shame
But I have not committed treason and sullied my good name
As you can see, I have done nothing to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?
[Outro]
My God
Gentlemen, let's go
So?
The people won't know what we know
Burr, how do I know you won't use this against me
The next time we go toe to toe?
Alexander, rumors only grow
And we both know what we know
