Caveman Songtext
von 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 that can′t be found

This is my manifesto destiny
Tearing down this upward mobility


So tired of standing upright
The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that high fence
And the step on your back giving the chance
But not me, I′m a bipedal backpedaling just as surefooted as I can
I'm no high society man
No suit and tie, no jabber 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 backpedaling from sea to shining sea
