    [Intro]
    I can ride my bike with no handlebars
    No handlebars, no handlebars
    I can ride my bike with no handlebars
    No handlebars, no handlebars

    [Verse One]
    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 pastor all crooked-y
    I can show you how to dosey-doe
    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 friends 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

    [Chorus One]
    I can keep rhythm with no metronome
    No metronome, no metronome
    And I can see you face on the telephone
    On the telephone, on the telephone

    [Verse Two]
    Look at me, look at me
    Just called to say that it's good to be
    Alive, in such a small world
    I'm 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
    64 miles to a gallon of gasoline
    I can make new antibiotics
    I can make computers survive aquatic, conditions
    I know how to run the 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, cause

    [Chorus Two]
    I can lead a nation with a microphone
    With a microphone, with a microphone
    And I can split the atoms of a molecule
    Of a molecule, of a molecule

    {*musical saxophone interlude*}

    [Verse Three]
    Look at me, look at me
    Drivin 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 all healed from their lacerations
    Or have 'em all killed by assassinations
    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 because

    [Chorus Three]
    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 holocausssssssssssst!

    [Intro]

    后记:我的朋友介绍的一个乐团:Flobots,是不是和Rhyme BOT很像呢 哈哈

    这张Fight with tools很摇滚,他们是一个band,主唱的声音很好听,flow对于摇滚说唱来说很不错了,歌词很有深意,整张都有种激进的情绪在里面,政治,民声,种族这些是主要的表述主题。音乐里有大量美妙的小提琴的声音,另外还有萨克斯风以及小号的爵士元素,当然最多的还是各种吉他贝斯,摇滚与轻音乐的融合。

    这首handlebars也是我非常喜欢的一首,从“我可以双手脱把骑自行车”到最后的“我可以用一场大屠杀结束整个星球”,歌词发人深省,那个“I”是谁呢?也许很多战争都是这样慢慢开始的

    Flobots牛逼!
