Tear down this awkward mobility
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/cursive/caveman_crd_ver_2.html ]
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
Am G F
I'm no happy family man
C E Am Dm
I'm no husband, ain't no dad
Am G F
I'm a goddamn caveman
E
This upward mobility is more than I can understand
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
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)
