Congratulations
Triumph Through Treachery: Congratulations on the Climb
Lyrics
You stepped on every hand
You disregarded others' efforts and crossed over them.
On your way up the ladder
You climbed the social or professional ladder.
When you made the grade
You achieved success or recognition.
Congratulations!
Celebrating your accomplishment with sarcasm or irony.
You got a head start
You had an advantage from the beginning.
Then you punched and kicked and tripped
You used aggressive methods to secure victory.
Your way to victory
Continuing to emphasize the aggressive path to success.
Congratulations!
Mockingly congratulating for the ruthless approach.
And now there’s no one at the top but you
You reached the top, but there's loneliness or isolation.
Oh, what’s a boy to do?
Expressing the challenges of maintaining success.
And everybody has it out for you?
Feeling that everyone is against you.
Oh, what’s a boy to do?
Reflecting on the difficulties of the situation.
Congratulations!
Sarcastically repeating congratulations.
Don’t lie, don’t touch, don’t waste
Advising against dishonesty, physical contact, and time waste.
Don’t kill all of your time there on the TV screen
Warning against spending too much time on television.
You’re a sensation!
Acknowledging one's popularity or fame.
Don’t change the channel, build a wall
Encouraging to stay informed and aware.
Or press that button on telephone
Cautioning against harmful actions or decisions.
No radiation!
Advocating for a healthy lifestyle without exposure to radiation.
Now there is no one left to touch but you
Highlighting the isolation at the pinnacle of success.
Oh, what’s a boy do?
Pondering the challenges of being at the top.
They’re gonna come and have their way with you
Anticipating challenges or criticism from others.
Oh, what’s a boy do?
Reiterating the challenges faced by someone in the spotlight.
Congratulations!
Continuing the ironic congratulations.
