Farmer Refuted Songtext
von Lin‐Manuel Miranda

Hear ye, hear ye!
My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present "Free Thoughts on the Proceedings of the Continental Congress"

Heed not the rabble who scream, "Revolution!"
They have not your interests at heart
Oh my God, tear this dude apart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don′t let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me (let him be)
They're playing a dangerous game
I pray the king shows you his mercy
For shame
For shame


Yeah, he′d have you all unravel at the sound of screams but the (heed not the rabble who scream)
Revolution is coming the have-nots are gonna win this (they have not your interests at heart)
It's hard to listen to you with a straight face
Chaos and bloodshed already haunt us (chaos and bloodshed are not a solution)
Honestly, you shouldn't even talk, and what about Boston? (Don′t let them lead you astray)
Look at the cost and all that we′ve lost, and you talk about Congress?

(This Congress does not speak for me) my dog speaks more eloquently than thee
(They're playing a dangerous game) but strangely, your mange is the same
(I pray the king shows you his mercy) is he in Jersey?
(For shame) for the revolution!
(For shame) for the revolution!

(Heed-) if you repeat yourself again, I′m gonna scream
(Scream-) honestly, look at me, please don't read-
(Not your interests-) don′t modulate the key then not debate with me
Why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?
Alexander, please!
Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive
Drop the niceties

Silence!
A message from the King!
A message from the King!
A message from the King!
