Ben Folds - The Ascent Of Stan Lyrics
pangs of silenceFrom the room upstairsHow’s the view there?Do you read what they’re saying about you?That you’re no funSince the war was wonIn fact, you have become all of the things you’ve always run away fromThe ascent of stanTextbook hippie manGet rest while you canSo where’d the years go?All the time we had?Being poor was not such a drag in hindsightAnd you wonder why your father was so resignedNow you don’t wonder any moreThe ascent of stanTextbook hippie manTextbook hippie manGet rest while you canStan: once you wanted revolutionStan: now you’re the institutionStan: how’s it feel to be the man?It’s no fun to be the manAnd now, watch it all go downThe ascent of stanTextbook hippie man(stan)Textbook hippie manGet rest while you canStan: once you wanted revolutionStan: now you’re the institutionStan: how’s it feel to be the man?It’s no fun to be the man
