Handlebars - Flobots

I absolutely love this song. Thoughts? Opinions?

The video is pretty abstract. The best way to understand this song is to imagine the President is singing it. Takes on a totally different meaning.

"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
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"

Very, very creepy.

I like it.

It's a fun song when you first hear it.  Once you actually understand the meaning of the song, it's rather deep.  Deeper than any rap song I've heard in a long time.

For those who don't know, it's a satire based on the world powers trying to one-up each other, and a look into the future if one of the countries (USA and Bush Administration) pushes it too far.

Yeah it is. At first it seems like a really mellow chill nice song, but it progressively gets darker and darker. The last verse is seriously..creepy.

Great song, and I rather enjoyed the animation. When I first listened to the song it sounded very Linkin Park, but after listening to it more you can see it takes on a much different tone then most Linkin Park songs, IMO a much better tone.

Here's the thing about this song. I think Eminem & Linkin Park do it better.  That being said.  It's catchy as hell and gets stuck in my head for hours.  

thats been around for a while.  But awesome song!

Look at me look at me hands in the air

cause I just got headshotted.

I think the guy is bold for this line:

"I could end the world in a Holocaust"

It's been in regular rotation around Seattle and they just played at Bumbershoot. It was same weekend as PAX so I didn't make it but I would've liked to. It's a good song, I like it. I hope the Flobots keep doing their thi.
