The Ascent Of Stan Lyrics

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 from

 

 The ascent of Stan

 Textbook hippie man

 Get rest while you can

 

 So 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 more

 

 The ascent of Stan

 Textbook hippie man

 Textbook hippie man

 Get rest while you can

 

 Stan: 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 man

 

 And now, watch it all go down

 

 The ascent of Stan

 Textbook hippie man

 (Stan)

 Textbook hippie man

 Get rest while you can

 

 Stan: 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 man
