The immigrant emerges with unprecedented financial powerA system he can shape however he wantsThe Virginians emerge with the nation’s capitalAnd here’s the pièce de résistance
No one else was in the room where it happenedThe room where it happened, the room where it happenedNo one else was in the room where it happenedThe room where it happened, the room where it happened

(Alexander Hamilton)Or did you know, even then, it doesn’t matterWhere you put the US capital?’Cause we’ll have the banksWe’re in the same spotYou got more than you gaveAnd I wanted what I got

I’ve got to be (the room where it happens)I’ve got to be (the room where it happens)Oh, I’ve got to be in (the room where it happens)I’ve got to be, I’ve gotta be (the room where it happens), I’ve gotta beIn the room (I wanna be in the room where it happens)Click, boom!
