[Verse 1: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Taking over
But they won't be long
They're mesmerised
Skeletons

[Refrain: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to

[Verse 2: 2D & Neneh Cherry]
Drinking out (Push it real)
Pacifier (Push it real, push it)
Vitamin souls (Push it, push it real)
The street desire (Push it real, push it)
Doesn't make sense to (Push it, push it real)
But it won't be long (Push it real, push it)

[Refrain: 2D]
Kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to

[Chorus: 2D]
Now they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire

[Verse 3: 2D]
Drinking out
Pacifier
Sinking soul
There you are
Doesn't make sense to
But it won't be long

[Refrain: 2D]
'Cause kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it
They got something to say no to

[Chorus: 2D]
Now they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire

[Bridge: Neneh Cherry & 2D]
Push it, push it real (It's real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (It's real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real (Real)
Push it, push it, push it real (It's real, real)
Push it, real
(Push it, push it, push it real)

[Outro: Neneh Cherry]
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
After day, after night come
Don't, don't kill me now
After night come day
Oh, oh, oh
After day, after night come
Don't, don't kill me now
Oh, oh, oh, oh

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.
