Em D C
I want to live life duty free
G B Em Am
Let my instincts take the lead
Em D C
I want to take what I can get
G B Em Am
Don't want to choose don't want to beg
Em D C
I want down from this family tree
B
I don't need no upward mobility
(Repeat verse)
Em D C
I want to unlearn what I've learned
G B Em Am
Want to unearn what I've earned
Em D C
Want to burn my bridges down
G B Em Am
Find a place I can't be found
Em D C
This is my manifesto destiny
B Am D
Tear down this awkward mobility
Em D C
'Cause I'm tired of standing upright
B Am D
The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch
Em D C
And then step on your back given the chance
D
But not me I'm a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can
(Repeat verse)
Em D C
I'm no high society man
G B Em Am
No suit and tie, no Dapper Dan
Em D C
I'm no happy family man
G B Em Am
I'm no husband, ain't no dad
Em D C
I'm a goddamn caveman

This upward mobility is more than I can understand
G B Em Am
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
G B Em Am
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
G B Em Am
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
Em D C
I'd rather be all hands and knees
Em D C
Yeah, I'd rather be swinging in the trees
With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries
D
Yeah that's me I'm a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
(Repeat verse)
