Gorillaz - Humanz Album Lyrics

I switched my robot off
And I know more
But I retain less
Retain less
..tain less
..tain less
Less...

[Vince Staples:]
You are now tuned into the tomb of Jehova
Play my tunes loud enough to shake the room, what's the hold up?
Heard the world is ending soon I assumed that they told ya
They tryna dinosaur us
So now it's time to go up

The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)

The roof is on fire
She wet like Barbra Streisand
Police everywhere
It's like a nigga killed a white man
I just wanna find a baby mama 'fore the night end
So don't be coming 'round Vince
On that batter ram shit
On that 911 shit
Need a misses brown as Missy
I can have some fun with
Them slave bones make Grace Jones'
Don't stop, bitch, stay focused
They hated on us since days of Moses
Let my people go crazy
Them stars falling, don't chase 'em

The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)

[2D:]
Attack on Iraq
It's on a line
Typing it fast
Then it's slipping my mind
Oh when I'm drunk
I'm spirited back
I fall in a fire then I save myself
Then I get advantage
'Cause the feeling's so raw
In these times of sedition
Well, nothing is dull
And I'm moving into stillness
I'm recalling it all
And I'm a lover just a lover just a lover just a lover just a-

[Vince Staples:]
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)

All these liberated women sitting in my lap
I'm finna catch a body like I got a gun and badge
I'm finna turn Obama to my patna 'fore he dash
Pull up to his pad, wipe my ass with the flag
I'm just playing, baby, this the land of the free
Where you can get a Glock and a gram for the cheap
Where you can live your dreams long as you don't look like me
Be a puppet on a string, hanging from a f*cking tree
(AGHH)

The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Drop that ass 'fore it crash (higher)
The sky's falling, baby
Falling, baby, falling (higher)

[Peven Everett:]
Momentary pain
Can be pleasure lain
Will a second change?
Magic lantern strange
Are we just too far, to be as one again?
Are we obsidian?
Is this how it is?
Girl, your life will turn
Just like a strobe
Because you're daddy's pain
And your mother won't
And your heart engages into heartless throes
Are we obsidian?
Is it how it goes?

When you're drivin' night is dreamin'
Livin' the strobe light
And you will find the life you needed
Livin' the strobe light

Slide the light off you
You may find some peace
All will come to you
If you come with me
Are we just too far to be as one again?
Are we obsidian?
Is this how it ends?
(Yeah!)

When you're drivin' night is dreamin'
Livin' the strobe light
And you will find the life you needed
Livin' the strobe light

Oh yeah!

When you're drivin' night is dreamin'
Livin' the strobe light
And you will find the life you needed
Livin' the strobe light

When you're drivin' night is dreamin'
Livin' the strobe light
And you will find the life you needed
Livin' the strobe light

And when you got it
See it in your dreams
You get hit by the strobe light
You've got to find it, we all need it
We get hit by the strobe light [x2]

[2D (Popcaan):]
(All my life)
I'm in the stakin' bar
I got debts and I'm a debaser
(All my life)
Saturnz about to make love
And I'm just a heartbreaker
(All my life)
And I won't get a take in
'Cause I'm out when I'm stakin'
And the rings I am breaking
Are making you a personal day

[2D (Popcaan):]
With the holograms beside me
I'll dance alone tonight
In a mirrored world, are you beside me
All my life?
(Distortion)

(All my life)
I'm in the stakin' bar
I got debts and I'm a debaser
(All my life)
Saturnz about to make love
And I'm just a heartbreaker
(All my life)
And I won't get a take in
'Cause I'm out when I'm stakin'
And the rings I am breaking
Are making you a personal day

[De La Soul:]
Clocks on the wall
Talk to watches on the wrist
It's the moments we relive
It's the moments like this
When it's time to get ill
We be so ahead of time
It's the moments we achieve
Best believe it's the moments

[2D:]
Red or black, yellow, red, black, white
Dirty
(Moments)
Red or black, yellow, red, black, white
Dirty
(Moments)
Shivers down my backbone

[De La Soul:]
De La is also back again
With a crew that's bound to pack them in
Got a girl who's up for the mating
I sense the need in her grandma
Her nose has never been skating
But she's sippin' star constellation
The real squirt game was so like 2Pac at a court run towards camera
Her response to that was just "Check please"
F*ck that my man you can't let these (moments)
Pass you by like "tick tock"
I'm smackin' the bottom like flip flops
Made her alarm ring
(She screamed)
And now we done, we passed the test
And now lay down to rest
And wait for the morning hangover that comes

Clocks on the wall
Talk to watches on the wrist
It's the moments we relive
It's the moments like this
When it's time to get ill
We be so ahead of time
It's the moments we achieve
Best believe it's the moments

[2D:]
Red or black, yellow, red, black, white
Dirty
(Moments)
Red or black, yellow, red, black, white
Dirty
(Moments)
Shivers down my backbone

[De La Soul:]
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
Plastic on the ceiling
So now lay down to rest
And wait for the morning hangover that comes

Clocks on the wall
Talk to watches on the wrist
It's the moments we relive
It's the moments like this
When it's time to get ill
We be so ahead of time
It's the moments we achieve
Best believe it's the moments
Moments
Moments
Moments
Moments

I'm talkin' about the Kool Klown Klan
Kool Klown Klan
I'm talkin' about the Kool Klown Klan
I need to step out for a fresh of breath air after that

And now, let's repeat the Non-Conformist Oath!
I promise to be different!

I promise to be different!

I promise to be unique!

I promise to be unique!

I promise not to repeat things other people say!

Don't try to hide away
You know you've been on
Though I'm keepin' come, I'm not on
Go away my love
Thought I could change our fate
I tried again, but there's delay
It's more than I can take

And it got to me
When you state your love
And you walk away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
I will be full-on
If it's up to me
That's all I got-

Feels so good doin' me
If you take a look at the time you took and move on
But don't go too far, my love
We could try harder, baby
There's gotta be a better way
So much that we could make it

And you got to me
When you state your love
But you run away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
Gotta be full-on
It is up to me
That's all I got

That's all I got (that's all I got, that's all I got)

Wish I could think of better ways
'Cause I lost my patience yesterday
If you could see inside of me
There'd be no heart on my X-ray
Opponents tryna checkmate
But I don't see no escape
Just tryna keep my head straight
On thin ice with the ice skates
At times I feel like giving up
'Cause it feels like I've had enough
Felt like my soul in handcuffs
Got questions with no answers
Can't help me out, I need a friend
I'm losing faith in this world of sin
Tryna make ends meet with a week, no sleep
It's like a cycle that never ends
I can't pretend with no handling
I can't take care of no grown man
All by myself, crying out for help
But won't get saved by no Superman
All comes down to the mighty dollar
Greed and lust, abusing power
Clock is ticking, hour after hour
Maybe when I throw my hands, I'll holla

(And it got to me)
When you state your love
But you run away
What could you be on?
Now you're not around
But I hope you see
Gotta be full-on
It is up to me

I am the ghost
Provocative
That's what I want

What is the cause of it, and
Well in that case, how do you know it's your own?

Elevator, going up!

[2D:]
When the passing looks to die for
Take it in your heart now lover
When the case is out
And you're tired and sodden
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart

[D.R.A.M.:]
Back to when it was cool
'Cause there's no substitute
Who even knows the truth?
The truth, the truth

[2-D and D.R.A.M.:]
Take it in your heart now, lover
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Where it all goes down

[2D:]
Outside cold, it ghost in now, it jet lag
I took it to the right man
Took it all back
When the courts were closing
It was Bobby gracing
I know that
I put it to the right man
He put it back

[D.R.A.M.:]
Caught in your eyes
Stacks of lights
Come streaming back
Make it for the best times
Growing pains, good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times

[2-D:]
Take it in your heart now, lover
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart
Where it all goes down

[2-D and D.R.A.M.:]
Andromeda
Andromeda, Andromeda
Take it in your heart now, lover
Andromeda, Andromeda
Andromeda, Andromeda
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart
Where it all goes down

Talk to me
Roger that!
Roger that!
I don't have to take this any further if you don't want me to
I only go as far as you want me to
That's only as far as I go

Carnival

[Anthony Hamilton:]
We play to win, just to find the dark
Go home again, and we both fall out
I wanna spend the time with you
Doing nothing
Keep you satisfied, while they rob us blind
I hear the music in the background
Singing, singing

Oh, I haven't see the glory
Coming, coming coming
And we play
We play, we play, we play like a..

Just like a carnival
Game (Just like a carnival)
Laugh (Just like a carnival)
Joke (Just like a..)
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival

We play to win, just to find the dark
Go... again, and we both fall out
I wanna spend the time with you
Doing nothing

We... (Just like a carnival)
We laughed (Just like a carnival)
Sleep with the dead (Just like a carnival)
Playing with your mind (Just like a..)
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival, yeah...

[Pusha T:]
Mama Mavis, oh
Mama, they tried my patience
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors
They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors
You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers
If change don't come, then the change won't come
If the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come
(Woo!)

[Mavis Staples:]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?) look into your eyes
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark, let me out)
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass
Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it

[2D:]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time
But I won't get tired at all

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out

[Pusha T:]
Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see
Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets
Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece
Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach
Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace
But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach
(Yeah!)

[Mavis Staples:]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change coming
You'd best be ready for it

[2D:]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in times
But I won't get tired at all

[Mavis Staples:]
Am I passin' into the light?
(Am I looking into mercy's eyes?)
All the world is out of your hands
(Then ascending into the dark) another night
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change is coming
You'd best be ready

Be ready, ready for it
Be ready, be ready
(Let me out)

Something, was gonna happen tonight

[Zebra Katz & Jamie Principle:]
Yeah, see, we gone
Sex murder
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder

[2D:]
I drove the kids
I drove the kids
Into tears of your priority
Disown the kids
Disown the kids
Into tears of your priority

[Jamie Principle:]
I'm caught up in this
I'm caught up in this murder
I'm trying to get away, but
I'm trapped in this phase
I'm caught up in this masquerade

[2D:]
I drove the kids
I drove the kids
Into tears of your priority
Disown the kids
Disown the kids
Into tears of your priority

[Zebra Katz:]
You always said
I was out of control
Teach me hatred
Then let me go
You didn't care, no truth and no dare
In the bathroom, blow everywhere
Now you're so high, kiss all the guys
Making me jealous, I wonder why

[2D:]
I drove the kids
I drove the kids
Into tears of your priority
Disown the kids
Disown the kids
Into tears of your priority

[Zebra Katz & Jamie Principle:]
Sex murder
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Sex murder party
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder, murder

[2D:]
If I could take her down and run, then I'd call her
Cause she's standing drama, she knows I'll call her
She's getting on the sun and that she ordered
Imagine me, imagine me now
I don't take her number, just don't think I'd call her
I take a damn [?] dreading all day
I clear my system, I don't need no other
This is my persona, secret lover (she's my collar)
Nothing to be justified in
Just one thing, you should feel nada
I know she lies, I know she's my caller
I sense her in my mind, she's my collar

She's my serpentine, she's my collar
I send a message never call her
And now I wanna taste another
And it's safe in a persona, she's my collar
Nothing to be justified yet
She's the first I'm running with
She's the one that gets my collar
She's the one I'm running with

She's the one I'm running with
She's the one I'm running with
She's the one I'm running with
She's my collar

[Kali Uchis:]
I'm yellow, he was blue
It's nothing that he could hide
We made agreement though
Whenever we were so alive
I died a thousand times
I did what I had to do
Hey, that's just how it goes
I'm still coming back to you

[2D (Kali Uchis):]
If I could take her down and run, then I'd call her
(You, you, you)
Cause she's standing drama, she knows I'll call her
(You, you, you, you)
She's getting on the sun and that she ordered
Imagine me, imagine me now (she's my collar)
I don't take her number just don't think I'd call her
(You, you, you)
I take a damn [?]
(You, you, you, you)
I clear my system, I don't need no other
(You, you, you)
This is my persona, secret lover (she's my collar)

[2D:]
She's the one I'm running with
She's the one I'm running with
She's the one I'm running with
She's my collar
Oh
She's my collar

And out of the elephant's trunk...
Confetti

[Benjamin Clementine:]
Here is our tree
That primitively grows
And when you go to bed
Scarecrows from the far east
Come to eat
Its tender fruits
And I thought the best way to perfect our tree
Is by building walls
Walls like unicorns
In full glory
And galore
And even stronger
Than the walls of Jericho
But glad then my friend
Out in the field we shall reap a better day
What we have always dreamt of having
Are now for the starving
It is love, that is the root of all evil
But not our tree
And thank you my friend
For trusting me

[Benjamin Clementine (Choir):]
Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah money
(Past the chemtrails)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hmmm
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah money
(Oooh)

[2D:]
How will we know?
When the morning comes
We are still human
How will we know?
How will we dream?
How will we love?
How will we know?

[Benjamin Clementine:]
Don't worry, my friend
If this be the end, then so shall it be
Until we say so, nothing will move
Ah, don't worry
It's not against our morals
It's legally tender
Touch my friend
While the whole world
And whole beasts of nations desire
Power

[2D:]
When the morning comes
We are still human
How will we know?
How will we dream?
How will we love?
How will we know?

[Benjamin Clementine (Choir):]
(Hallelujah money)
Hallelujah money
(Past the chemtrails)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hmmm
Hallelujah money

Hallelujah money
(Oooh)
Hallelujah money
Hallelujah money
Hallelujah
Hallelujah money!

We've got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
(On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?)
We've got the power to be
Ringing the great bell out there above us
We've got the power for that
We got the power to do that

[Jehnny Beth (2D):]
They dream of home
I dream of life out of here
Their dreams are small
My dreams don't know fear
(I got all you)
I got my heart full of hope
I will change everything
No matter what I'm told
Or how impossible it seems
(We got the power)
We did it before
And we'll do it again
We're indestructible
Even when we're tired
And we've been here before
Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me
I don't need to be rescued

[2D & Jehnny Beth:]
We've got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
(On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?)

Ringing the great bell out there above us
We've got the power for that
We got the power to do that

[2D:]
Get yourself up to the silent altar
And call me
But don't forget the machines
'Cause if your choice is chipping it down on the M1 (1, 1, 1)
Then you'll wake up in the morning
You'll be storming, oh, oh, oh

[2D & Jehnny Beth:]
We've got the power to be loving each other
No matter what happens, we've got the power to do that
On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay?
We've got the power to be
Ringing the great bell out there above us
We've got the power to do that
We got the power, power, power-pow-power
We got the power

We got the power
