can we take a minute to appreciate burr’s solo lines in ‘washington on your side’ and how ridiculous they are in contrast to the rest of the song?

it must be nice, it must be nice, to have washington on your side

look in his eyes!

somebody has to stand up to his mouth!

and that’s it. madison and jefferson are going off all fired up about potential embezzling and southerners being disrespected, and the only thing burr can do is talk about hamilton’s eyes and mouth while being jealous that alexander hangs with washington all day.
