The Ascent of Stan

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

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

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
