Sep 22, 2008 - that is why the world is so f***k up because people with bad attitudes.They say oh it for money but there is still other reason.Or We are speeding the process of global warming so who cares.We might not but future generations will.And it doesn't matter what any war is for,NO MATTER WHAT we will always be there.We are still in Vietnam, Russia, and Korea every where else we had a war.so the best thing is to be optimistic and state the good and not the bad and try do something.

DarkFelixRO Says:
Sep 24, 2008 - if you look at the video, you'll see the relationship...they both started from rideing their bikes but went different paths... ;)
Nemicide001 Says:
Sep 24, 2008 - I think the relationship is that some people find it hard to ride a bike without handlebars, so it might be considered slightly difficult, but then it escalates to him doing more amazing things like splitting an atom and hitting a target through a telescope. I guess the point is that it starts small, and turns into something huge, like the revolution in the vid.
tao9991 Says:
Sep 24, 2008 - I think that the song means over all that humans realize the consequences of their acts too late.Just look at the end of the vid when the guy freaks out seeing his old friend killed...good song tho :D

Sep 25, 2008 - that's what they said in the 50's. Keep the faith. Work for peace. make a difference. Humans are stronger than fire
lilmrh Says:
Sep 25, 2008 - the no handlebars bit of the song is just symbolising innocence cause it shows tht was an important thing in there youth then the rest of the song shows how it changes
Chesta12345 Says:
Sep 26, 2008 - I think you're pretty close. The two kids go in different directions and achieve great things. One becomes an artist and the other an executive/scientist. I think, though, that the point was things got easier in the final verse. Guiding a missile by satellite or shooting someone with a telescope is a very detached way of killing someone, therefore easier than doing it with your own hands.Also, the first two verses have the friends 'creating' things. The last verse is about destruction.

Sep 27, 2008 - Wow, I thought they were just a random rock band like Paramore or PWTs. :) I didn't know they guy could rap THIS good, these lyrics are pure genius. And this is DEF going on my faves list. <3

Sep 27, 2008 - wow, this song is so much deeper than I thought it was... I jam out to it everyday, but had no clue it actually meant something, lol!! I LOVE IT
RobotPirateNinja616 Says:
Sep 28, 2008 - wow... both this song and video are absolutely awesome.
davidferns45 Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - this song is absolutely spectacular and lyrics are stunning... its suprisingly deep and i gave so much credit to a band like them who make it into the music bussiness without comprise on opion or style... also i love the brass that they put into this song and that blues type feel all most sumsup the track
HorrificHollie Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - I agree with most comments over these videos, but im not sure if anyone else has brought up the fact that the song progresses through time.It shows power + a sense of achievement through the eyes when your a child = I can ride a bike with no handlebars.And then if you grow up and become a leader = I can end the planet in a holocaust.So power can change and possess us. American or not.

Kunnaki Says:
Oct 5, 2008 - Basically, he's describing how he wants a world filled with freedom to do what he wants. But we live in a corrupted planet, so he made this song to describe it.
