High quality, Flobots, album version of the song Handlebars. This isn't the version that most of the other YouTube videos have. This is the real, final & complete version of the song. Lyrics below.

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

I can ride my trick with no penis
No penis
No penis

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're 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 cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No condom
No condom

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
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
Cuz 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
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

    I dislike the "rap-rockish" genre, and i stumbled upon this accidently on Fuse's rock countdown, it's a pretty deep song, the kids who said it's funny, and weird, don't understand it..hell, maybe i don't either.

    You guys are reading too much into this song. Its just clever lyrics touching on hot button issues. The song is meant to inspire differing opions though it never address one specifically.

    acuttly its about how we advanced and we can do anything we want, for example the halocast like killing people. its not what he can do its what "humans" can do and did. when he says he can lead a nation wtih a microphone hes refering to the president and him taking to the nation.

    Exactly. As said before, it says you can have everything and do nothing with it, do something good with it, or do something bad with it.

  • About the ...

    About the reincarnated thing, I think the repeat of the intro at the end of the song is just remind us of where we came from. At the end, the author says he can "end the world in a holocaust"...but remember, he started out as the guy that can ride his bike with no handlebars...the authors vanity took over and he ended up doing anything he wanted, just because he could...he can do anything...including ride his bike with no handlebars *LOL*

  • I think it started ...

    I think it started of saying that we can do simple things as humans,and through the song he describes new advancements and powers of America. I think the outro was saying we'll still basic humans even if we can do all of that great stuff.

    I also agree with Crabtreeclan.

  • Sounds to me like ...

    Sounds to me like the song is about the country getting too big for our own "britches". Listen to the line "Look at me, look at me" over and over again. There's nothing the author of the song CAN'T do...he can lead a nation with a microphone...he can split the atom of a molecule, etc., etc. It's about the advancement of technology and how we've grown as a people, but the point is that we don't pay attention to the consequence of the all the "wonderful" new things we can do.

    I always thought the song was about power corrupting the innocent (the singer starts out as an innocent child but turns into a power-hungry megolomanic)
