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 well if the (2)____________ sells

Out (3)________ a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look down from your temple
As people (4)________________ to make it a story
And (5)____________ a marble word
But all is lost if it's (6)__________ heard

But I've got someone to (7)________ reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To (8)________ my (9)__________ and (10)________ 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 (11)__________________ for me
As strange as it seems
I'd (12)____________ dissolve than (13)________ you ignore me
The ground may be (14)____________ fast
But I tied my (15)__________ to a (16)____________ mast

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

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