Congratulations by MGMT

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

Out (3)________ a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You (4)________ (5)________ from your temple
As (6)____________ endeavor to (7)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (8)________ if it's never heard

But I've got (9)______________ to (10)________ reports
That (11)________ me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations

I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The (12)____________ may be moving fast
But I (13)________ my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You (14)__________ it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and (15)________ Steinways and Baldwins
You (16)__________ with a (17)____________ stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and (18)________ (19)__________ friends
That keep on (20)______________ back their smiles
I save my (21)__________ (22)________ half-assed guilt
And lay (23)________ the quilt (24)________ the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
