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 |
