The Ascent Of Stan — текст песни (Ben Folds)

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
