You want a medal for the things you’ve done
Well, prizes don’t come around as easy as you want ‘em now
You want a mountain with your face engraved
So everybody in the world can see the face of nothing changedHip hip hooray, you’re our saving grace
Here’s to you and your poker face
Hip hip hooray, you’re our saving grace
Here’s to youYou want a monument erected in your name, and
Odds are we will tear it down when you leave as quickly as you came
You want a place in the history books, but
No one has changed history with double talk and dirty looksYou heighten yourself to lower the blame, and
You martyr yourself to heighten the fame, and
You lower yourself to draw the compassion,
Here’s to youYou want a medal for the things you’ve done, but
If you really did a damn thing, we would have gave you one
You want a mountain with your face engraved
So everyone will know the face when approached by the runawayHip hip hooray, you’re our saving grace
Here’s to you and your poker face
Hip hip hooray, you’re our saving grace
Here’s to you
