The World Is Yours.


The 2007 song No Handlebars by Flobots have showed the view of what most Americans feels about the society. The song lyrics tells of what people could do if there want to if there felt to. The song show both the positive and negative side in which being able to do whatever there want. Positive aspects in the song includes "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". This shows the good side like creating antibiotics to heal sickness, save the enviroment and many other things. On the other this also talks about the bad that could be done with this power. "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". Talking about the power to start holocaust, killing and stealing someone identity. This are all things that government need to help protect against. This song points other the fact that one man could have all this power and do whatever he want ever start a holocaust. This song brings up the idea of a the skys the limit but what if the someone wants to do bad what then is the government going to do.
