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 changed 

Hip 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 

You 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 noone has changed history 
With double talk and dirty looks 

Hip 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 

You 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 you 

You want a medal for the things you've done 
But if you ever really did a damn thing 
We would've gave you one 
You want a mountain with your face engraved 
So everyone will know the face when approached by to run away 

Hip 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 

Hip 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
