Am G F C E Am Dm

I want to live life duty free

Let my instincts take the lead
Am G F
I want to take what I can get

I don't need no upward mobility
(Repeat verse)
Am G F
I want to unlearn what I've learned
C E Am Dm
Want to unearn what I've earned
Am G F
Want to burn my bridges down
C E Am Dm
Find a place I can't be found
Am G F
This is my manifesto destiny
E Dm G
Tear down this awkward mobility
Am G F
'Cause I'm tired of standing upright
E Dm G
The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch
Am G F
And then step on your back given the chance
G
But not me I'm a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can
(Repeat verse)
Am G F
I'm no high society man
C E Am Dm
No suit and tie, no Dapper Dan

I'm no happy family man
C E Am Dm
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
C E Am Dm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
C E Am Dm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
Am G F
I'd rather be all hands and knees
Am G F
Yeah, I'd rather be swinging in the trees
With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries
G
Yeah that's me I'm a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
(Repeat verse)
