lyrics

Congratulations

you hit the big time, you’re on the tippy top
you own the building where you used to sling a mop
you bought the doughnut shop and ran off all the cops
congratulations

you made the cover of your favorite magazine
when you’re out in public, your fans all cause a scene
you lost 300 pounds, you’re looking fit and lean
congratulations

but as for me
i get nothing ever, all my chances shatter
i’ll be here forever, living in my failures
but let me offer you, all of best, congratulations
congratulations

you solved the mystery, you really saved the day
all your lovers beg for you to stay
you lived on welfare, but now you pay your way
congratulations
you won the sweepstakes, you’re an instant billionaire
your teeth are perfect, likewise is your hair
you got the body that makes folk stop and stare
congratulations

but as for me
i get nothing ever, all my chances shatter
i’ll be here forever, living in my failures
but let me offer you, all of best, congratulations
congratulations

i’m living here in my private hell
you’re living up on cloud 9
hands and feet bound you swam the english channel
i’m going down for the third time

you wrote a novel, that topped the bs list
you found a life form they said did not exist
any shot you take will never ever miss
congratulations
all of my best, congratulations
all of my best, congratulations
all of my best, congratulations
all of my best, congratulations
