[Verse 1: 2-D]
Try to see myself what goes on
Make it up myself, I'll never
Always told my thoughts aloud
Then another day I shut up

[Hook 1: 2-D]
Back to the sand
Doing what you can
Bound to be gone
Damned a loser

[Bridge 1: 2-D]
Found out right then they were fed up
Cause everybody said to shut up

[Interlude]
Yeah!

[Verse 2: 2-D]
Thought that you might care what goes on
Try to say "what up?"; I'm fed up
Everybody said I shoot up
But I just gotta tell them what up?

[Hook 2: 2-D]
Down with the sun
I knew that I was done
Did it to my self
Did it to my self, and then

[Bridge 2: 2-D]
Everybody's stirring shit up
Cause everybody tells me "shut up"

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.
