- Handlebars LyricsI 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 crookedy
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
And 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
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
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 system
I can do anything with no assistance
?Cause I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone, with a microphone
And I can split the atom 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
Because 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 handlebars, no handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars, no handlebars

Facts about Handlebars
✔️
Handlebars is written by Stephen Malloy Brackett, Kenneth Fredrick Ortiz, James Alexander Laurie, Mackenzie Allyn Roberts, Andrew Michael Guerrero, Jesse Taylor Walker.
✔️
It is first released on October 16, 2007 as part of Flobots's album "Fight With Tools" which includes 12 tracks in total. This song is the 5th track on this album.
✔️
When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, the tune 'Handlebars' sang by Flobots, dives into the subject of infinite possibility and power to the highest point of women's and men's potential to do great good and to influence the world in all ways, both positive and negative. The bike riding without handlebars metaphor indicates the idea of living a life with no boundaries or restrictions, and at the same time, the references to the control of technology, commanding countries, and wreaking havoc all demonstrate the ambivalence of human capabilities to either create or destroy. Handlebars lyrics largely speak of uplifting power, delight, enlightenment, liberation, and jubilation. Conversely, the song accentuates the necessity of empowering and being capable, of having freedom and being an individual and of taking responsibility and facing consequences. The text shows the features of a war of power and control with allusions to wounding and the risk of damage, like 'I can end the planet in a holocaust' and 'I can make anybody go to prison just because I don't like 'em.' These aspects might be inappropriate for kids who are under 13, thus the need for a PG-13 classification.
