Letras: Ben Folds. 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
