[Verse 1: 2-D]
City life
Calling me all the time
Me and my soul
Geared to attack
Never get another chance
So what you doing
Gotta get money
Can't quite do it

[Hook: 2-D]
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness

[Verse 2: 2-D]
Shit night life
Be trying not to laugh though
You won't get money
From doing what you loving
I'm moving out of city
Victim of a second chance
Get a lot of problems
We kicked a lot of them

[Hook: 2-D]
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness

[Hook: 2-D]
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness, no not the loneliness

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.
