All about bicycles and ethanol...

lyrics

I want to ride my bicycle
Yeah, I want to ride my bi-i-ike
I want to ride my bicycle
Yeah, I want to ride my bi-i-ike
I ride a busted ass bicycle
Better than a tricycle
That’s so slow I’ll run down the road and beat ya down if ya even try to steal it
But I’m just lying to you, fool
Why would you even try to steal
My busted as bicycle
And for that thing have to be liable
Well yes, I guess it’s kinda cool
Matter of fact, that’s how I finded it, too
Lying there needing repair, upon my way to school
And I like to play with tools
So I propped it ‘gainst the fence
And once I saw it stay there for a day or two
I said, “Why spends
My time and money looking for a better method?”
It was a transportation transformation
A bicycle from a biped
So I led it home, which wasn’t too far
Found the missing pedal laying around
Underneath a car
And the bike was yellow like a star, spray painted
Somehow, someone managed to jam in the handle bars
I managed to straighten them
And the seat, busted out my ratchet set
Reattached the pedal, which didn’t match
But made it complete, and then I said:
I want to ride my bicycle
Yeah , I want to ride my bi-i-ike
I want to ride my bicycle
Yeah , I want to ride my bi-i-ike
So I rode my trusty crap bicycle
Cause I’m the best biofuel
Although the rain came and rusted my chain
I know where to buy some lube
Although I bursted a tube
I know how to change those, too
And although my bike may be slow, it’s been known to tow two
So, dude, hop on the pegs
It’s better than legs
I brought a pair for the hitchhikers
“Hey, you going my way?”
Yeah, you know it homie
Rollin’ on chromies
Stolen from some BMW, AKA ‘Bay-Em-Vay’
Plus, there’s only one brake in the front
And no gears
So make way when I come
Or else get ready to flip a great stunt
Like, Evil Kneivel, I go with no fears
I’m not safe
I was about 8 years, in the third grade,
When they passed that helmet law
And since then my parents made me wear it but I swear it, you seldom saw
That strap fastened around my jaw
I was a rebel, renegade radically rapidly rapping fool, but naw
I don’t mean to encourage making your brain into porridge
I know a kid that actually did get in an accident
But that’s because of a car
But anyway, tha’ts just my way
I ride with no lights at night, no tickets so far
Just a couple close calls
But you see, my ride never stalls
I’m never late
Caught in traffic, I’m mashin’ through the red
After glancing both ways
Being self-sufficient pays
And my only point, is that I won’t let you stop me
Like that joint I blaze
And there’s many more ways
Scooters, skateboards, rollerblades
Stilts, unicycles, pogosticks
They can make ‘em use hydraulics, electrics, leverage
Alcoholics, here’s another little clever idea from which you can benefit:
I want to drive on alcohol
I don’t want to ride on ga-a-as
I want to ride on ethanol
I don’t want to ride on ga-a-as
D-d-d-did you know that Prohibition was passed
That Amendment to our Constitution
By The Women’s Christian Coalition, or some shit
It was pushed in that position
By John D. Rockefeller, who runs much shit
And it really wasn’t about consumption of the intoxicant?
No kidding, you didn’t
Well, let me let you fill that in with this little tidbit
There it was written, no misprint
Prohibited for production of any kind, possession is a crime
Cause it’s real easy to distill ethanol, that undrinkable kind of alcohol
And it’s probably the cleanest, strongest fuel of all
But it’s time to evolve, because that Amendment was recalled
And you have the right to own a still
If you would just fill out a small one-page application
This revelation has political implication
Soon to be sweeping the nation
Needing a little more explanation
So you see, way back when it happened
There was no one rappin’, no representation
So the power of the people had no persuasion
And the corporation don’t want you to know
That all political power comes down to the farmer
So they take it
Replacin’ self-sustainable technology with what they’re wastin’
So now we pay them to pollute our ecology
Favoring them, disgracing us
Because gasoline was
Never meant to be a fuel
Simply the byproduct of petroleum’s processing
So by inventing the fool
To burn up their industrial waste
They kill two birds with one stone thrown, so cruel
Just like MTB is an additive they added in for them to be even more cost efficient
Your car’s engine is specifically designed
For the injection of this random concentration
But with a slight alteration
You could be racin’ more powerful horses
And not wastin’ valuable resources
Did I forget to say that Henry Ford’s Model T design
Could run on gasoline, or oil from hemp seed, just fine?
See you find, a lot out when you look for it
So don’t ignore it
Matter of fact, in order to monopolize the farm unit
They subsidize corn, it’s mostly used in cow feed
But cows don’t need to eat so much starch
So if you use it to make ethanol first
You could charge for it, and be self-supported
While the byproduct of this process
Could still be used to make your cows grow fattest and fastest
But lastest, it’s also an organic herbicide
Another important form of resource, self-supplied
And for those who don’t live in the countryside
If you can find ethanol to mix in with your gasoline
That’s all you need, an easily use at least 50% percent
Plus, with better mileage after your car’s computer adjusts automatically
So represent, your environment
And don’t be buyin’ it
If you don’t rely on it, you can’t bent
Yo, they can’t prevent…
They can’t prevent freedom from thistyrant’s tycoon, will ddie soon
As we apply these new knowledges to colleges and public schools
Or just buy a spool of blank CDs and spread this tool to the next head yourself
You have my consent, cool
Once we free from dependence upon their rules
I want to have marijuana to grow wild again because it has over 25,000 uses
Believe it, the pinnacle peak of plant life
Has the greatest return rate for oxygen, systematically removed
And I want to use ethanol to fuel my Goped
And be able to head to school
On a bike that’s red
And set up racks all around town for anyone that wants to ride on them
And we can cure global warming, by farming and just letting it veg, yeah
And tearing up all the cement
Planting orchards of free food
And labor could be organized on its own as we have an available hand to lend
Cause damnit the land on this planet was meant
To bear and share fruits
Fairly between animals, women, and men
That is the truth, this is the end
