Your acceptance speech was so sincere
Your acceptance speech was genuinely heartfelt.
Now just relax and you will hear
Relax and listen, something important is about to be conveyed.

-You did not forget to wash your hands
A reminder of personal hygiene, possibly metaphorical for keeping oneself clean in the public eye.
Through your hair you ran your comb
Grooming, presenting a polished public image.
In your speech at the Grammys
Referring to a speech given at the Grammy Awards.
You didn't forget to thank your mom
Acknowledging and expressing gratitude to one's mother.
You were concise and stayed on topic
Being concise and sticking to the main points.
You didn't mention race or unemployment
Avoiding controversial topics like race or unemployment.
You avoided the topic of poverty
Avoiding discussions on poverty, focusing on the positive aspects of music.
'Cuz you know music is all about enjoyment
Stating that music is primarily for enjoyment.
Keep on chokin' on the corporate meat
Criticizing artists for succumbing to commercial pressures.
While the crowd gets up and they move their feet
While artists compromise, the audience enjoys the music.
Don't forget to wave to the people you screwed
Advising not to forget those harmed on the way to success.
To get that perfect 10-out-of-10 review
Highlighting the pursuit of perfect reviews despite personal costs.
We can't wait 'till you have that breakdown
Anticipating a future breakdown or crisis in the artist's life.
And you're sitting in rehab, crying about fame
Imagining the artist in rehab, regretting the price of fame.
Because the last time we'll have to hear your
Suggesting that people are tired of the artist's music.
Music
Anticipating the end of the artist's career, celebrated by dancing on their metaphorical "grave."
Is when we're all dancing on your grave to
-Pretty Music
-For Pretty People
A final reference to the ongoing theme of "Pretty Music for Pretty People."
