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 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 anymore
 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? (feels to be the man)
 It's no fun to be the man
 ♪
 La-da-da
 La-da-da-da
 La-da-da
 La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-aaaaa-da-da-daaa
 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? (feels to be the man)
 It's no fun to be the man
