Caveman - Cursive

I want to live life duty free

Let my instincts take the lead

I want to take what I can get

Don’t want to choose don’t want to beg

I want down from this family tree

I don’t need no upward mobility

I want to unlearn what I’ve learned

Want to unearn what I’ve earned

Want to burn my bridges down

Find a place I can’t be found

This is my manifesto destiny

Tear down this awkward mobility

Because I’m tired of standing upright

The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch

And then step on your back given the chance

But not me I’m a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can

I’m no high society man

No suit and tie, no Dapper Dan

I’m no happy family man

I’m no husband, ain’t no dad

I’m a goddamn caveman

This upward mobility is more than I can understand

I won’t stand, no, I won’t stand for it

I won’t stand, no, I won’t stand for it

I won’t stand, no, I won’t stand for it

I’d rather be all hands and knees

Yeah, I’d rather be swinging in the trees

With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries

Yeah that’s me I’m a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
