Congratulations by MGMT

Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The (1)________ and daughters
Of city (2)__________________ attend demonstrations
It's (3)____________ a sink or swim
When all is (4)________ if the (5)____________ sells

Out (6)________ a whimper
It's not a (7)__________ of glory
You look down (8)________ your temple
As (9)____________ endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is lost if it's never heard

But I've got someone to (10)________ reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To (11)________ my stays and (12)________ my plans
So I can't (13)________ 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 (14)________ have you (15)____________ me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in (16)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start (17)________ a simple (18)__________ of all the waste
And (19)________ to taste

But damn my (20)________ and damn these friends
That keep on combing (21)________ (22)__________ smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the (23)__________ upon the lawn
Spread my (24)________ and soak up:
Congratulations
