Cursive - Caveman lyrics
[Cursive - Caveman lyrics]
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 daper Dan
I'm no happy family man
I'm no husband ain't no dad
I'm a God damn 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
