A brand new song by Gorillaz! But, this one is different…
Usually, Gorillaz made music videos featuring fictional characters; 2D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel Hobbs, and Noodle
Gorillaz returns after six years with the apocalyptic “Hallelujah Money” video, the first taste of their new record which is coming later this year. The band has issued this song on the eve of the Inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump to serve as commentary on a politically-charged, historical moment.
This time, their music video featuring Mercury Prize winner Benjamin Clementine.
Song lyrics: Gorillaz – Hallelujah Money
Here is our tree
That primitively grows
When we go to bed
Scare crows from the Far a-East
Come to eat its tender fruits
I have thought that the
Best way to protect our tree
Is by building walls
Walls like unicorns in full glory and galore
Even stronger than the walls of Jericho
Be glad then my friend
That in a few
We shall reap abundantly
What we’d always dreamt of havin
Enough of the starvin
It is love
That is the root of all evil
Not our tree
And thank you my friend
For trusting meHallelujah Money
Hallelujah MoneyHow will we know
When the morning comes
We are still humanz.
How will we know?
How will we dream?
How will we love?
How will we know?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 is not against our morals
It’s legally tender
Touch my friend
What the whole world, and whole beasts of nations desire: powerHallelujah Money
Cross the chemtrail sun
Hallelujah Mone
