Caveman

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
