Lyrics:
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 its good to be
Alive and I'm a famous rapper
Even when the paths are all crookedy
I can show you how to dosey doe
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 friends saw a platypus
Me and my friends made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want 'cause 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 its 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
64 miles to the gallon on gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computer survive aquatic
Conditions I know how to run the 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 resistance 'cause

I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone
And 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 handout 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 them
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

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

this song inexplicably reminds me of dave strider from homestuck??
wow ur voice is my official headcanon for him now.

AMAZING cover!

[pencil]

2019 and I'm here for Dave Strider from Homestuck.

Great cover, love it so much!

[LovebugsLab]

Eight years later, and this is on my main playlist.
Balanced, as it should be.

[JamesCPotter]

I always imagined this song as a kid and his friend are riding bikes together, and he falls off and hits his head...and ends up becoming a super genius, with his intellect growing more and more as time goes on, and losing his sanity little by little.

In the end he ends up becoming a really powerful politician/dictator and wipes everything out in a holocaust...while his childhood friend watches in horror trying to stop him

and when the light fades....

we see him and his friend riding bikes as children again....only this time his friend catches him...and he lives a normal life.

[bandidocavalier]

i dont wanna be the homestuck in here but this fits so good with striders

[aidanadams]

You did something that's hard, if not impossible to do; you made an already epic song even cooler...

[brirose]

THAT WAS AWESOME! My teacher showed that song to the class as an example of how poetry and songs are similar, AND I LOVED THE SONG! I had never heard of it until today. Your cover made me love it more! I like a lot of different genres of music and I've recently got into classic rock and Punk Rock. Thank you for that awesome cover! You're so cool!

[ende_]

This version is nice and clean, with more emotion and emphasis, love it! Feels like my old daydreams

[leonineKelter]

Love all the homestucking happening here. Excellent cover, and im glad that dave strider led me here !!

[AirOfSpace]

Listening to this song again, I suddenly realize what the song is about. It's about the human mind considering all the things that a person could do; the more things the person thinks they can do something, the more extravagant and dark the things they think they can do get. It starts off with dreams of success, and then charity, but ends with thoughts of chaos and destruction... things that one person is able to do. And it all stemmed from the thought of being able to ride a bike.

I need a moment.

[DaileyDoseOfJoseph]

I got goosebumps watching this one.
Either it's really good or I should stop drinking this energy drink.

[NoneLikeJoshua]

200, 000! Thanks for sharing it around guys!

[PixelTheCheetah]

Ya know, this song sends a pretty disturbing message... I can just imagine a kid who just learned how to ride his bike without handlebars, and he's letting the satisfaction of it and the power go to his head. At the end, when he's screaming, "I can end the planet in a holocaust!" he's gone mad with power, and he wants to kill everyone, just to prove the fact that he feels like he can do anything, all because he can ride his bike with no handlebars... Wow. That's deep.

I discovered that song like yesterday cuz somebody thought that this cover fit Dave Strider from homestuck. And bth you are my headcanon voice for him.
I love the cover. <3 I listen to it all day.
Meaning of this song is quite interesing. Most people see it as very scary meaning. Corruption and all. I get it. But tbh but me beside that meaning I think that that song is quite inspirational. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to make a holocost. But this song makes me think that people are so creative and can make anything. (it can go in wrong direction as song show) And it's makes me hopeful that I can make something great too (I draw). I really want to make a comic book too ^^
So thanks for making this cover cuz cuz of it I discovered that song

[zyenda]

To be honest, I enjoy this more than the original. I feel that your voice is cleaner, as well as matches the tone of the song in a much better way than the original. It just sounds like you put so much more emotion and emphasis on where it needed to be. I have been listening to you since... like.. well, I don't remember. XD At least 3-4 years if my memory serves me well. Anyways, keep up the great job Josh. (Yes, I do see a lot of your stuff late. XD)

[bladewolf]

Use to listen to the song all the time, and I got to say, I'm speechless. Amazing job to you and everyone involved.

[AWFULJ]

"Me and my friends saw a platypus" - Getting famous finally!

I had no idea you did a cover from this one. I just listened to the original after a few of your old tunes..And YoutTube, being intelligent just showed me this how cool is that?!

[hisangel]

Okay, I know I'm all late... But I freaking love this... You guys did a good job by keeping this song close to its original but adding your own twist...DOPE!!!!

[starsorbit]

...anyone else getting dave strider vibs

[SuperNerdDaniel]

This is one of my favorite songs ever (I used to listen to it all the time in high school), and you did an amazing job with this! Two thumbs up to everyone involved. ^.^
