[Hook] (x2)
People, people
Everybody people
Everybody making a sound
People, people
Everybody people
Everybody standing their ground

[Verse]
If you dream to the top
You'll be over the edge
If you get it on side
You'll be taking a ditch
You'll be loving our love
But you don't know why
It's the term of the day
So we never excite
If your heart isn't there
So you might as well say
"I know it, I got it but I know that time will set me together"

[Hook] (x2)
People, people
Everybody people
Everybody making a sound
People, people
Everybody people
Everybody standing their ground

(Oh yeah)

[Verse]
If you dream to the top
You'll be over the edge

You'll be loving our love

It's the term of the day
So we never excite
If your heart isn't there
So you might as well say
"I know it, I got it but I know that time will set me together"

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.
