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 (3)____________ sells

Out with a whimper
It's not a (4)__________ of glory
You (5)________ (6)________ from (7)________ temple
As people (8)________________ to (9)________ it a story
And chisel a marble word
But all is (10)________ if it's never heard

But I've got (11)______________ to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my plans
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a (12)__________ big:
Congratulations

I'll (13)________ your dreams
You pay (14)__________________ for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve (15)________ have you (16)____________ me
The (17)____________ may be (18)____________ fast
But I tied my (19)__________ to a (20)____________ mast

The difference is clear
You (21)__________ it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer
Dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my (22)________ and damn these friends
That keep on (23)______________ back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my (24)________ and (25)________ up:
Congratulations
