Can we talk about Right Hand Man?
I see it as a moral boosting song because they're in the middle of a war???? Yeah, they're in some deep shit rn, and that's EXACTLY why they can't afford some money dopey sad song about how much it sucks, because that will only make it worse in the long run. More on reddit.com
I just realized the lyric in Right Hand Man, "Laurens, Mulligan, Marquis de Lafayette" has a double entendre as it also stands for Lin's initials...
LMAO I think that's just a coincidence but cool to think about Edit: then again lins brain scares me with how elaborate he thinks you could just be right More on reddit.com
Right Hand Man
Totally agree! It’s a fantastic song! As an aside, whenever I grab a $1 bill from my wallet, I now think “Here comes the general!”, or whisper it if I’m around friends. More on reddit.com
I Realized Something About Right Hand Man
Nice catch. The king strolls in, expecting attention and accolades, with his full narcissism on display. The general barges in, demanding attention, because there is urgent work to do and he doesn’t have time to fool around. Huge difference. More on reddit.com

Don't get me wrong, I love the song, but... I have no idea what the message there is. Like the lyrics are basically "we're in hot shit right now" but the tone is "we're gonna hype up Washington for three minutes."
I've seen songs use what I can only describe as tonal dissonance to great effect for a gut punch at the end (think All You Wanna Do in Six) so I'm sure Lin was going for something there, I'm just not sure what.

Well the point of the song is to convey that while yes Washington was a hero to many in the revolution he knew the odds were against them. I think Lin was playing with our expectations here, usually Washington is the big bold hero in American history but oftentimes we forget they only chose Washington due to his military experience and prowess. But Washington was at times a terrible General, with more loses than wins to his name and only because of his nature to persevere in great odds is why we look at Washington in America with pride as while his win/loss record was abysmal his ability to recover and move on is what made him so good. So I think the dissonance is intentional, it's meant to make us excited to see Washington and yet the moment he speaks he tells the audience right off that they have little to no chance of beating the British. Heck historically there were many times when America was close to total defeat and collapse to the Brits it's not even funny, just a few more bad battles and the American dream could have died before it was born. American history glorifies Washington and Lin knows that, the song I think is his way of saying "hey you know that great general who was our first president? Well turns out he was a bit of a loser" thus why there is such a dissonance in the song, like most of Hamilton's characters Lin knows how to muck with expectations.

Red Right Hand - Lyrics | Nick Cave
September 19, 2019 - He’ll get you one You ain’t got no self-respect, you feel like an insect Well don’t you worry buddy, cause here he comes Through the ghetto and the barrio and the Bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand · You’ll see him in your nightmares, you’ll see him in your dreams He’ll appear out of nowhere but he ain’t what he seems You’ll see him in your head, on the TV screen And hey buddy, I’m warning you to turn it off He’s a ghost, he’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a guru You’re one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand
