BEN FOLDS lyrics : "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 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
