Flobots

The Flobots are a rock and hip hop musical band from Denver, Colorado, formed in 2000 by Jamie Laurie. Flobots found mainstream success with their major label debut Fight with Tools (2007), featuring the single "Handlebars", which became a popular hit on Modern Rock radio in April 2008.

Fight with Tools (2007–2008)

In October 2007, after a year of writing and producing, the Flobots released their proper debut album Fight with Tools and sold out their CD release show at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado.

Flobots entered a contest held by Denver radio station 93.3 (KTCL), called Hometown for the Holidays, which allowed fans to vote for their favorite songs from 35 local bands. Flobots subsequently won both the radio portion of the contest as well as the live performance award. As a result, the station put "Handlebars" into full rotation at the end of January due to the immense popularity of the song during the contest.

The Circle In The Square

by: Flobots

Hands in the air,
Presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
But that isn't fair
Hands in the air,
Presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
But we're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
Presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
Presidents, prime ministers
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
The time is now, our time has come
We show them how, what can't be done
No matter what they say or they don't say
We make a way out of no way
Against the gun, beneath the veil
Yes we can, too big to fail
We are the ones we're waiting for
We save ourselves; praise the lord
We are Sly and the Family Stone in calamity
Triumph when thrown to the domes of these Goliaths
Planted seeds in silence and granted meek compliance
And in the spring rain exploded in a riot
Of color and excitement, wearing no disguises
Declaring to the stars that we trek like enterprises
Of candlelight revivals and how we lift the blindfolds
We end in Revelation, like it was the Bible
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
But we're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
But we're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
We are the circle in the squee-are, we breathe air
The same as the ones who didn't prepare, don't be scared
Whatever time it was when you began
The clock is now 11: 55 on the big hand
So you're invited into the circle that we sleep in
Invited to depend on friendships we deepen
To uncover the secrets in the, that we're bleepin
The treasures maps we pretend we do not believe in
Show us how to
Party at the protest
Rally like a rockstar
Yaya, yaya, allahu akbar
Do svidaniya, ega
Foster all the people
El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido
Party at the protest
Rally like a rockstar
Yaya, yaya, allahu akbar
Do svidaniya, ega
Foster all the people
El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We are the night light bearers for night terrors
We are group dreamers, vision seekers and pall bearers
In aftermath of blight errors, blood type and marrow
To the bone oaths and beat hope into plough shares
We are balancing the balance beam
Pulling strings from battle scenes tapestries
And ravenous advocates for smaller teams
Pop the bubbles of Cristal schemes
We are the sleep walkers for stalled dreams
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
But we're the circle in the square
Hands in the air,
President, prime minister
They said that we didn't care
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
We're the circle in the square
