F#m E D
I want to live life duty free
A C# F#m Bm
Let my instincts take the lead
F#m E D
I want to take what I can get
A C# F#m Bm
Don't want to choose don't want to beg
F#m E D
I want down from this family tree
C#
I don't need no upward mobility
(Repeat verse)
F#m E D
I want to unlearn what I've learned
A C# F#m Bm
Want to unearn what I've earned
F#m E D
Want to burn my bridges down
A C# F#m Bm
Find a place I can't be found
F#m E D
This is my manifesto destiny
C# Bm E
Tear down this awkward mobility
F#m E D
'Cause I'm tired of standing upright
C# Bm E
The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch
F#m E D
And then step on your back given the chance
E
But not me I'm a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can
(Repeat verse)
F#m E D
I'm no high society man
A C# F#m Bm
No suit and tie, no Dapper Dan
F#m E D
I'm no happy family man
A C# F#m Bm
I'm no husband, ain't no dad
F#m E D
I'm a goddamn caveman
C#
This upward mobility is more than I can understand
A C# F#m Bm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
A C# F#m Bm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
A C# F#m Bm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
F#m E D
I'd rather be all hands and knees
F#m E D
Yeah, I'd rather be swinging in the trees
With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries
E
Yeah that's me I'm a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
(Repeat verse)
