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 hippy 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 wondered
why your father was
so resigned
now you don't wonder anymore
the ascent of Stan
textbook hippy man
textbook hippy man
get rest while you can
once you wanted revolution
now you're the institution
how's it feel to be the man?
it's no fun to be the man
and I watched it all go down
the ascent of Stan
textbook hippy man
textbook hippy man
get rest while you can
once you wanted revolution
now you're the institution
how's it feel to be the man?
it's no fun to be the man
