I 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'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 metronome, No metronome

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

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 systems

I can do anything with no assistance, cuz

I can lead a nation with a microphone, With a microphone, With a microphone
I can split the atoms 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 from exasperation
Have’em all healed from 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, cuz

I can guide a missile by satellite, By satellite, By satellite

and I can hit a target thru a telescope, Thru a telescope, Thru 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
