Stand before the ancient temple
O great goddess may we enter
Indulge in our favorite pleasure
May we see our ancient treasure
Reaffirm our new suspicion
Music is our true religion
Heal the soul improve our vision
Mankind needs a new position
Free us from this earthly prison
In this universe we live in
[?] has risen
Help us to complete our mission
Place us on the path of wisdom
[?] hear us listen
Turn up the radio
Got a new way to flow
I took a sacred oath
Here to save your souls
Feeling [?] yo
Every place we go
[?] we make you whole
Totally take control
Let it shake your soul
Motivate the body
Liberate the whole
As we face the goddess
Let us break the hold
And escape the mind
This is the way we go

Testing testing
Somebody turn my mic on
Listen to the words of an intelligent life form
Who are those UFOs you're searching the sky for
Robot android mechanical cyborg
I'm just a great man
In search of a great land
Came with a great plan
Mechanical ape man
Heard of a great van
Whatever it takes man
Prevent the planet Earth from becoming wasteland
Overpower the hurt
With the power to heal
Even reveal the [?] real
Feel the strength that's strong
Like the power of steel
A machine-like being with the power to feel
Feel the feeling inside
Each individual brings
With bionic eyes
I see invisible things
From beginning to end
We can fit in between
The band from the land of digital dreams

Gorillaz

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.
