I can ride my bike with no handlebars

Artist: Flobots
Album: Fight With Tools
Song: Handlebars
Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash {with help from liner notes}[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!
