[00:04.94]The battle of Yorktown. 1781
[00:10.92]Monsieur Hamilton
[00:12.05]Monsieur Lafayette
[00:13.01]In command where you belong
[00:14.29]How you say, no sweat
[00:15.51]We're finally on the field. We’ve had quite a run
[00:18.27]Immigrants:
[00:19.23]We get the job done
[00:21.80]So what happens if we win?
[00:22.88]I go back to France
[00:24.11]I bring freedom to my people if I’m given the chance
[00:26.52]We’ll be with you when you do
[00:27.93]Go lead your men
[00:29.00]I'll see you on the other side
[00:30.20]‘Til we meet again, let’s go!
[00:31.89]I am not throwin’ away my shot!
[00:33.63]I am not throwin’ away my shot!
[00:36.02]Hey yo, I’m just like my country, I’m young
[00:37.69]Scrappy and hungry
[00:38.70]And I’m not throwin’ away my shot!
[00:41.09]I am not throwin’ away my shot!
[00:43.58]‘Til the world turns upside down…
[00:45.93]‘Til the world turns upside down!
[00:50.95]I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
[00:52.88]This is where it gets me: on my feet
[00:54.77]The enemy ahead of me
[00:55.98]If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
[00:58.37]Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
[01:00.86]Then I remember my Eliza’s expecting me...
[01:03.65]Not only that, my Eliza’s expecting
[01:06.13]We gotta go, gotta get the job done
[01:07.97]Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!
[01:10.25]Take the bullets out your gun!
[01:11.36]What?
[01:11.73]The bullets out your gun!
[01:12.53]What?
[01:12.94]We move under cover and we move as one
[01:14.94]Through the night, we have one shot to live another day
[01:17.61]We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away
[01:20.31]We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
[01:22.79]It’s either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
[01:25.11]The code word is ‘Rochambeau,’ dig me?
[01:27.20]Rochambeau!
[01:27.91]You have your orders now, go, man, go!
[01:30.00]And so the American experiment begins
[01:32.43]With my friends all scattered to the winds
[01:34.30]Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining brav’ry
[01:37.41]We’ll never be free until we end slavery!
[01:40.35]When we finally drive the British away
[01:42.13]Lafayette is there waiting—
[01:43.35]In Chesapeake Bay!
[01:45.08]How did we know that this plan would work?
[01:46.86]We had a spy on the inside. That’s right
[01:49.25]Hercules Mulligan!
[01:50.53]A tailor spyin’ on the British government!
[01:52.47]I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
[01:54.86]Up
[01:55.31]To my brother's revolutionary covenant
[01:57.31]I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it!
[02:00.29]See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians
[02:02.43]We in the **** now, somebody gotta shovel it!
[02:04.62]Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
[02:07.06]When you knock me down I get the **** back up again!
[02:11.19]
[02:17.19]Left! Right! Hold!
[02:20.25]Go!
[02:21.72]What! What! What!
[02:25.17]
[02:39.59]After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet
[02:44.47]We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
[02:49.25]And just like that, it’s over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead
[02:53.37]Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom
[02:57.28]Not. Yet
[02:59.25]We negotiate the terms of surrender
[03:01.43]I see George Washington smile
[03:04.07]We escort their men out of Yorktown
[03:06.16]They stagger home single file
[03:08.71]Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
[03:11.40]There are screams and church bells ringing
[03:14.00]And as our fallen foes retreat
[03:15.77]I hear the drinking song they’re singing…
[03:18.05]The world turned upside down
[03:22.92]The world turned upside down
[03:27.84]The world turned upside down
[03:32.66]The world turned upside down
[03:36.45]Down
[03:37.57]Down, down, down
[03:40.67]Freedom for America, freedom for France!
[03:42.75]Down, down, down
[03:45.28]Gotta start a new nation
[03:46.08]Gotta meet my son
[03:47.25]Down, down, down
[03:50.05]We won!
[03:50.39]We won!
[03:50.95]We won!
[03:51.51]We won!
[03:52.47]The world turned upside down!
