If this be the end, then so shall it be

"A commentary on a politically-charged, historical moment" :
C'est ainsi que Gorillaz introduit ce nouveau morceau, publié le jour de l'investiture d'un président, il faut le dire, hautement inquiétant. Au chant, un Benjamin Clementine très convainquant.




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

Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah money
(Past the chemtrails)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)

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?

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 legal tender
Touch, my friend
While the whole world
And whole beasts of nations desire
Power

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?

Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah money
(Past the chemtrails)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hallelujah money
(Hallelujah money)
Hallelujah money!

Gorillaz, halleluia money (2016)
