"I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars" this "child" trying to impress people with his skills. "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" Because being famous trumps everything, even a rough past and this is even respected in our sick world. "I can show you how to do-si-do I can show you how to scratch a record" Look at all the things I can do, man I'm special, I sould try my hand at even bigger things. "Look at me Look at me Just called to say that it's good to be ALIVE" I don't care how it is for you (rest of world) I'm too busy enjoying how great everything is for me. "I'm all curled up with a book to read" I have it so easy. "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 the gallon of gasoline I can make new antibiotics I can make a computer survive aquatic conditions I know how to run a business And I can make you wanna buy a product" America advancing in technology and capitalism, the "child" is trying his hand at sometimes useful and mostly just plain profitable, simple yet lucrative things. "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 know how everything works, i really do because I have money and money controls everything. I'm so powerful, rich and smart I'll never need any help. "Cause I can lead a nation with a microphone With a microphone With a microphone" Propaganda reference, how easy it is to sway the masses. "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 from exasperation Have'em all healed from their lacerations Or 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" Totally corrupt with power, the state we're in today in the USA. "I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars" Reminds us how simply it all began. The president is merely a puppet, the ones who really control america are the rich and elite behind the curtains and this will never change, no matter who the president is. |
