[Chorus: 2D]
Snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

[Verse 1: Roots Manuva]
Rolling the die
Looking for my lady
In the clutch and the one called lady luck
If infected me
My world view ever stop wretchedly
Ain't nothing bigger than the lesson of life itself
I scratch, the yourself
Far screwed, far step
Whose to blame?
Who put the chemicals in the food chain?
Take a whiff of my mutant breath
10 pounds of squeeze on my silicone breath
Piping dream called dream
Alcohol and kick a hole in on the T.V. screen

[Chorus: 2D]
Snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders (x2)

[Outro: 2D]
Not above a hair, I run
Big people never come

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
