Congratulations - triple j Like A Version

Here's a useful lesson for ya:
Give up, just quit, because in this
Life, you can't win yeah, you
Can try, but in the end you're
Just gonna lose, big time
Because the world is run by the Man

My momma called, seen you on TV, son
Said shit done changed ever since we was on
I dreamed it all ever since I was young
They said I wouldn't be nothing

Now they always say, "Congratulations"
(uh, uh)
Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation
They ain't never had the dedication
People hatin', say we changed and look
We made it yeah, we made it

I've got someone to make reports
That tell me how my money's spent
To book my stays and draw my blinds
So I can't tell what's really there
And all I need's a great big congratulations

Congratulations

Damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations

So don't waste your time trying to make
Anything cool, or pure, or awesome
'cause the Man is just gonna call you
A fat washed up loser and
Crush your soul so do yourselves a
Favor and just GIVE UP!

Congratulations!
