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
