Pangs of silence
From the room upstairs
How's the view there?
Do you read what they're saying about you?
That you're no fun
Since the war was won
In fact, you have become all of the things you've always run away fromThe ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you canSo where'd the years go?
All the time we had?
Being poor was not such a drag in hindsight
And you wonder why your father was so resigned
Now you don't wonder any moreThe ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you canStan: Once you wanted revolution
Stan: Now you're the institution
Stan: How's it feel to be the man?
It's no fun to be the manAnd now, watch it all go downThe ascent of Stan
Textbook hippie man
(Stan)
Textbook hippie man
Get rest while you canOnce you wanted revolution
Now you're the institution
How's it feel to be the man?It's no fun to be the man
