"Handlebars" The Flobots



I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
No handlebars,
No handlebars.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
No handlebars,
No handlebars.

Look at me, look at me,
hands in the air like it's good to be
ALIVE,
and I'm a famous rapper,
even when the paths are all crookedly.
I can show you how to do-si-do,
I can show you how to scratch a record,
I can take apart the remote control,
And I can almost put it back together.

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem,
I can tell you about Leif Ericson,
I know all the words to "De Colores,"
And "I'm Proud to be an American."
Me and my friend saw a platypus,
Me and my friend made a comic book,
And guess how long it took?
I can do anything that I want 'cause, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome,
No metronome,
No metronome.

I can see your face on the telephone,
On the telephone,
On the telephone.

Look at me, look at me,
Just called to say that it's good to be
ALIVE,
In such a small world,
All curled up with a book to read.
I can make money open up a thrift store,
I can make a living off a magazine,
I can design an engine sixty four,
Miles to a gallon of gasoline.
I can make new antibiotics,
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions,
I know how to run a business,
And I can make you wanna buy a product.

Movers shakers and producers,
Me and my friends understand the future.
I see the strings that control the systems,
I can do anything with no assistance.

I can lead a nation with a microphone,
With a microphone,
With a microphone.

I can split the atoms of a molecule,
Of a molecule,
Of a molecule.

Look at me, look at me,
Driving and I won't stop,
And it feels so good to be,
Alive and on top.

My reach is global,
My tower secure,
My cause is noble,
My power is pure.

I can hand out a million vaccinations,
Or let'em all die in exasperation,
Have'em all healed of their lacerations,
Have'em all killed by assassination.
I can make anybody go to prison,
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission,
I have it all under my command.

I can guide a missile by satellite,
By satellite,
By satellite,

And I can hit a target through a telescope,
Through a telescope,
Through a telescope,

And I can end the planet in a holocaust,
In a holocaust,
In a holocaust,
In a holocaust,
In a holocaust,
In a holocaust.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
No handle bars,
No handlebars.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars,
No handlebars,
No handlebars.
