Congratulations by MGMT
Dead in the water
It's not a paid vacation
The sons and daughters
Of (1)________ officials attend demonstrations
It's hardly a (2)________ or swim
When all is well if the ticket sells
Out (3)________ a whimper
It's not a (4)__________ of glory
You look down from (5)________ temple
As people endeavor to make it a story
And chisel a (6)____________ word
But all is (7)________ if it's (8)__________ heard
But I've got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my (9)__________ and (10)________ my plans
So I can't (11)________ what's (12)____________ there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations
I'll keep (13)________ dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve (14)________ have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (15)________ my (16)__________ to a (17)____________ mast
The (18)____________________ is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn (19)__________________ and Baldwins
You (20)__________ with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste
But (21)________ my luck and (22)________ these friends
That (23)________ on (24)______________ back (25)__________ smiles
I save my (26)__________ with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt (27)________ the lawn
Spread my (28)________ and soak up:
