There's nothing rich
folks love more
Than going downtown
and slummin' it with the poor
They pull up
in their carriages and gawk
At the students in the common
just to watch 'em talk
Take Philip Schuyler
the man is loaded
Uh oh but little does he know
That his daughters Peggy Angelica Eliza
Sneak into the city
just to watch all the guys at
Work work
Angelica
Work work
Eliza
And Peggy
Work work
The Schuyler sisters

Daddy said to be home by sundown
Daddy doesn't need to know
Daddy said not to go downtown
Like I said you're free to go
But look around look around
The revolution's happenin' in New York
New York
Angelica
Work
It's bad enough
Daddy wants to go to war
People shouting in the square
It's bad enough
there'll be violence on our shore
New ideas is in the air
Look around look around
Angelica remind me
what we're looking for
She's lookin' for me
Eliza I'm lookin' for a mind at
work work
I'm lookin' for a mind at
work work
I'm lookin' for a mind at

Whoa ooh whoa
Whoa ooh whoa
Work
Whoo
There's nothin' like summer in the city
Someone in a rush
next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me miss
I know it's not funny
But your perfume
smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city
in your fancy heels
You searchin' for an urchin
who can give you ideals
Burr you disgust I've been reading
me
Ah so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund baby
you can trust me
Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that
I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution
I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration
We hold these truths
to be self evident
That all men are created equal
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson
I'ma compel him to include
women in the sequel
Work
Look around look around
At how lucky we are
to be alive right now
Look around look around
At how lucky we are
to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen
to be in the greatest
city in the world
In the greatest city in the world
'Cause I've been reading
Common Sense by Thomas Paine

You want a revolution

So listen to my declaration
