Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of city officials (1)____________ demonstrations
It's (2)____________ a sink or swim
When all is (3)________ if the ticket sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a (4)____________ word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got (5)______________ to (6)________ reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To (7)________ my stays and (8)________ my plans
So I can't (9)________ what's really there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations

I'll keep (10)________ dreams
You pay (11)__________________ for me
As (12)______________ as it seems
I'd rather (13)________________ than (14)________ you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (15)________ my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (16)________ (17)__________________ and Baldwins
You start with a (18)____________ stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and (19)________ these friends
That (20)________ on combing back (21)__________ smiles
I save my (22)__________ with half-assed guilt
And lay (23)________ the quilt (24)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and (25)________ up:
Congratulations
