Gorillaz- The Happy Dictator (Song Lyrics)

Gorillaz

The Happy Dictator

Single from Album: The Mountain 

[Intro: Russell Mael]
I am the one to give you life again
I am the one to save your soul, amen

[Verse 1: 2-D & Russell Mael]
As the shadows, they are forming, come and join me centre stage (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
If you're empty and abstracted and your broken heart is full of rage (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)
In a world of fiction, I am a velvet glove (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
I am your soul, your resurrection, I am the love (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
So look out to the west now, see where the devil lies (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
Its pharmakon is with you and your empire it is paralysed (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)
I'll propagate eternity and seal it with my kiss (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
So look into the coffin and let me grant your wish (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)

[Chorus: 2-D & Russell Mael]
No more bad news
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2: 2-D & Russell Mael]
Everything is slowing down yet everything is faster (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
While everyone's consuming I'll save you from yourself (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)
Upon this world of fiction, my love I will bestow (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
And as we march into the future, happiness will grow (Oh, what a happy land, oh, yeah)
