Congratulations

the boy in the gown today became a man
his future's oh so bright, at least it looks like
the pretty girl holds her picture in hand
gives it to the man as she recites her lines

why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
whose origins are from that box we all know too well?

what I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
what made us thinl that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congrulations, Congratulations

the man in the green wears a name tag
out of fear they'll mispronounce "Larry"
the woman in the fur coat wears her lipstick strong
mascara stained eyes hidden

why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
whose origins are from that box we all know too well?

what I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
what made us thinl that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congrulations, Congratulations

being happy doesn't mean being somebody
take away the impulse to our portrait framed
might as well just sign me up for a fancy tomb
with my name engraved, my name engraved

what I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
what made us thinl that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congrulations, Congratulations

what I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
what made us thinl that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congrulations, Congratulations
