[Verse 1]
The feeling then gets to the brain
It means you got it coming and you ain't got a chain
Their only attire is a typical vice
But if it gets you well, well you ain't being nice, no
No!

[Verse 2]
So follow the lives till they cut up your eyes
You won't be even seeing if you ain't growing lies
Then bought all the shit that should never be sold
They put a gun above it and a narrow behold

[Chorus]
We are the happy landfill
We are the happy landfill
Alright!

[Verse 1]
The feeling then gets to the brain
It means you got it coming and you ain't got a chain
Their only attire is a typical vice
But if it gets you well, well you ain't being nice, no
No!

[Verse 2]
So follow the lives till they cut up your eyes
You won't be even seeing if you ain't growing lies
Then bought all the shit that should never be sold
They put a gun above it and a narrow behold
Alright!

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.
