Caveman Lyrics - Mama, I'm Swollen - Cursive

I wanna live life duty free 

Let my instincts take the lead 

I wanna take what I can get 

Don't wanna choose, don't wanna beg 

I want down from this family tree 

I don't need no upward mobility 

I wanna unlearn what I've learned 

Wanna unearn what I've earned 

Wanna burn my bridges down 

Find a place I can't be found 

This is my manifesto destiny 

Tear down this awkward mobility 

So 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 back pedaler 

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 monkeys, with junkies and bums 

And sloths and jailbird canaries 

Yeah, that's me I'm a bipedal back pedaler 

From sea to shining sea
