Congratulations by MGMT

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

Out (2)________ a whimper
It's not a blaze of glory
You look (3)________ (4)________ (5)________ temple
As people (6)________________ to make it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (7)________ if it's never heard

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

I'll (10)________ your dreams
You pay (11)__________________ for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve (12)________ have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my (13)__________ to a (14)____________ mast

The difference is clear
You (15)__________ it in (16)________ cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple (17)__________ of all the waste
And (18)________ to taste

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