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
