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
