I feel like the 4 people that thumbed this down (at time of this writing) didn't understand that this was/is a protest song. There's been been similar recent phenomenon with people (somehow) not understanding what Rage Against the Machine's song were about and accusing them of 'becoming' political.
It's been hitting different for years... but yes, closing out after being lead by a mic piece by someone willing to let people die without health support, to support the deaths of innocent people because he didn't like them(or people tangentially related to them), supported by holocaust supporters and holocaust deniers...? Yeah, real on the nose.
Logged onto Youtobe for the usual. See this. Loose my shit, put life aside for 5 minutes and am in heaven. That last verse out of left field blew my mind. Re release this. Push. Brother and sisters. don;t stop.
I love the new ending. The song originally makes me feel like we're all screwed by Government but that last verse reminds us that the power is in us when we unite. The positive will overcome the negative.
We seek power and status when we are young only to later realize we paid a huge price in the process and then wish we can return to the carefree younger days. Mad respect to this song.... it speaks a lot of truth into those five minutes.
NEW VERSE LYRICS: Look at me, look at you, surrounded by civilization. Does it feel so good to be alive in a penitent nation? Your reach is global, your message is loud and clear. Your cause is noble... YOU'RE HERE! You could flood these streets with demonstration, Overthrow an administration, Breed new life in a generation, Save us all from disintegration, Re-discover how to speak your language, Heal the block till the streets not dangerous, Change the virus so it's not contagious, Make the liars unlock the cages. You can build alternatives to prison doors, You can find forgiveness, forgiveness for yourself, Witness the risen lord! You can channel power from a different source! You can bring us all back from the brink and stop a civil war! From the "killer floor"? You can save this planet from a holocaust, From a holocaust! From a holocaust! You can save this planet from a holocaust! From a holocaust! From 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...
Damn, the energy. You guys never lost it. That was beautiful, it took me back to the first time I heard this song when I was 10. I've been listening ever since, but God damn this one hit hard.
Holy fook. That song always gave me goosebumps then they pull the new lyrics out of the bag😮 I got goosebumps on goosebumps. I hope more people get to hear it. Well done guys 👍
Everyone here thinking this song is a coincidence in 2020 with all the shit going on. But flobot knows better. He came to remind all of us what’s about to happen.

"Me and my friends understand the future, " he said, 15 years ago. Now, I honestly believe him.
I see the strings that control the system
If anyone else had said that line, it would've been pretentious. But they really DID understand the future.
It's only gonna get worse
the protagonist is not him buddy
THAT EXTRA VERSE ❤️ feels so complete ❤️

@@n1lla - It's a LIBERal song, so it's automatically bad for good-guy Jesus and land-of-LIBERty America.
Hearing this on 2020 hits a different way.
like in a "we shoulda seen this one coming but it still caught us off guard anyways" way
Oh yeah... this guy for sure knows what’s up.
So glad you posted this. I was so happy to hear this live on election night
It's been hitting different for years...

Too many are blind despite people like Flobots working to tear off blindfolds.
Handlebars especially, but it's not even the only one. People are sleeping on the Flobots and it honestly pisses me off a little bit.
This song needs a re-release with that extra part added. I think it would be even bigger now with world today. Flobots we need you!
That last verse...that's what I've been waiting to hear
Logged onto Youtobe for the usual. See this. Loose my shit, put life aside for 5 minutes and am in heaven. That last verse out of left field blew my mind. Re release this. Push. Brother and sisters. don;t stop.
Truth!!!!!!
This is the perfect time for this song to make a resurgence
I love the new ending. The song originally makes me feel like we're all screwed by Government but that last verse reminds us that the power is in us when we unite. The positive will overcome the negative.
3:50 and I'm crying. How beautiful and powerful.
This song has never been more important to today's climate. Thank you Flobots, I miss live music and Denver :)
I miss concerts. Powerful performance and LOVE the extra verse at the end!
We seek power and status when we are young only to later realize we paid a huge price in the process and then wish we can return to the carefree younger days. Mad respect to this song.... it speaks a lot of truth into those five minutes.
Dam flobots its been years guys.. years good to see you.
The Flobots hit you with that EXTRA extra. Thanks for that ending!
Good to see Andy again!
Also. Props to the lighting designer.
Came back to listen after what happened yesterday, gotta get pumped up ✊🏼
That freestyle in the end… 🤯 daaaamn! That’s god tier and ultra quality!
Holy shit, YES
Could you put this version up on spotify. the positivity at the ends cheers me up a lot
Just what 2020 needed
childhood🥺
So cool seeing how much they’ve improved musically and expressively since they first recorded the song
I really need to buy this updated version of Handlebars. I'll pay whatever for it. This hit so hard and I'm glad I lived to hear it.
Shivers. Shivers. Omfg that end bit. Just yes.
That last verse is absolute 🔥🔥🔥.
It blows me away that this entire album is still relevant today.
NEW VERSE LYRICS:
Look at me, look at you, surrounded by civilization.
Does it feel so good to be alive in a penitent nation?
Your reach is global, your message is loud and clear.
Your cause is noble... YOU'RE HERE!
You could flood these streets with demonstration,
Overthrow an administration,
Breed new life in a generation,
Save us all from disintegration,
Re-discover how to speak your language,
Heal the block till the streets not dangerous,
Change the virus so it's not contagious,
Make the liars unlock the cages.
You can build alternatives to prison doors,
You can find forgiveness, forgiveness for yourself,
Witness the risen lord!
You can channel power from a different source!
You can bring us all back from the brink and stop a civil war!
From the "killer floor"?
You can save this planet from a holocaust,
From a holocaust!
From a holocaust!
You can save this planet from a holocaust!
From a holocaust!
From 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...
Overthrow an administration* but solid work 👌
Also, I think the missing/misheard lyric is "the killing floor". Which refers to labor unions, racial tension, etc.
Daaaamn thanks bro!
How ‘bout them vaccinations?
Amazing performance. God damn that violinist is insane!
XRA pfp spotted! Fritata!
I still get goose bumps when I hear this song. Thank you flowbots. Keep the faith. One love.
Your music is inspiration for me and my country Colombia. Now government have war against the people, and they are killing us. Love this song.
Can you imagine the energy this would have had with a crowd?
The lyrics to this hit harder than ever.
Man that last verse hits the nail on the head
I saw the length of this video and knew you guys were going to give us something special. That last verse hit hard.
Honestly? You guys crushed it. Loved that additional verse at the end.
Man, this hits different this year...
Love this song,
And the extra verse. Wow 💪💪💪😊😊😊
The reprise hit real hard.
This song is timeless.
Saw them in Asheville a couple years ago. One of the best shows I have been to in a long time!
Everyone should remember this song in these awful times of war
I didn’t expect that ending.. wow, great!
I'd like to say when I heard the original for the first time it really touched my heart, and now I believe.
Flobots are the music of the revolution! ✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾
The revolution will not be televised, but it WILL be catchy af.
wow!

LOVE the new verse at the end

Damn, the energy. You guys never lost it. That was beautiful, it took me back to the first time I heard this song when I was 10. I've been listening ever since, but God damn this one hit hard.

They need a screamer I'm sorry I REALLY want to hear it.
I think it would be icing to make this song even better than it already is.
dude went from fixing remotes to leading countries and stopping holocausts.
**starting holocausts**
He says he can end the planet in a holocaust.
@@Velvetx4cove the ending. “You can save this planet from a holocaust.”
The revolution will not be televised, but it WILL be catchy af.
