about

Possibly our most accessible song ever recorded. You are born, you live, you succeed, or you don’t, you get ready to die. With banjo and fiddle.

lyrics

Congratulations
Here's a brand new body
From yr daddy and yr mommy
And yr family line
Congratulations
Here's a brand new burden
You'll be howling and hurting
Til the day that you die

And it's a short time here
And a long time gone
and we all stand in the same old place
and we all sing the same old song
And it's a short time here
And a long time gone
Welcome home, welcome home

Congratulations
Every hour you're getting larger
And your thoughts are going farther
Every brand new day
Congratulations
You're a bona fide human
Spend your hours consuming
Everything in your way

Congratulations
You got yourself a family
A little house in the country
And a brand new car
And the futures looking brighter
And your nights are getting lighter
All your best years are behind you
Time to say goodbye
