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 sink or swim
When all is well if the ticket sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a (1)__________ of glory
You (2)________ (3)________ from (4)________ temple
As people endeavor to (5)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (6)________ if it's (7)__________ heard

But I've got (8)______________ to (9)________ reports
That (10)________ me how my money's spent
To (11)________ my (12)__________ and draw my plans
So I can't tell what's (13)____________ there
And all I need's a great big:
Congratulations

I'll (14)________ (15)________ dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than (16)________ you (17)____________ me
The ground may be moving fast
But I (18)________ my (19)__________ to a broken mast

The (20)____________________ is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start (21)________ a simple (22)__________ of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and (23)________ these friends
That keep on (24)______________ (25)________ (26)__________ smiles
I save my grace (27)________ half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up:
Congratulations
