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
