Gorillaz - Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach Lyrics

Artist: Gorillaz

Album: Plastic Beach

Genre: Hip Hop/Rap

  • Songwriters: Damon Albarn, Calvin Broadus, Jamie Hewlett

Gorillaz and the boss Dogg
Planet of the Apes

The revolution will be televised
And the pollution from the ocean
Now with devotion
Push peace and keep it in motion

Kids, gather around
Yeah, I need your focus
I know it seems like the world is so hopeless
It's like wonderland

Now fascinate me, picture and animate me
'Cause I'm rolling, deep holing
Click clacking, crack-a-lacking
Full packing, mo' stacking

Acting a fool when I teach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Boss Dogg, give it to 'em, get involved
Turn it up, speed it up, slow it up
Underground where the under us undercut

Shipped up, shipped out
Swimming with the sharks
With my gills up, turn the wheels up, real tough
Drinking lemonade in the shade, getting blade with a gang of pilgrims

Yeah, this my path
Belly flopping, locking while I'm rocking in the bubble bath
And I'm just like math, four zeros added up, that get you more cash
So quick, so fast, all the kids say they love it when I make 'em laugh

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach

    In answer to "Anonymous" what Damon is saying in the background of WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF THE PLASTIC BEACH is "Just Like That". I went to the Gorillaz' concert and that lyric was displayed during the song. Fantastic concert, by the way.

    Snoop Dogg in this song makes even more dope.

    The whole album too is well composed and there are so many diffrent messages this album gets at e.g. World pollution, global warming, a higher power, corruption, and the shallowness the world has become.

    what is damon saying in the background of the song? some of it sounds like "it's just not fair" but there are some different sounding lines too.

    It is interesting the way the lyric referes to a song of Gill Scott Heron, that says " revolution won¨t be televised"

  • untouchablz

    There is no danger in realizing a plastic world. As long as you understand why, and stay true to your core values you should have no worries.

    This world is a plastic beach. Everyone will pass away and everything one has "accomplished" will result into nothing. It becomes more meaningless as time continues toward eternity.

    This song to me is a wake up call to us all, of the world that we live in. the reason i say that is due to the song name/song lyrics "Welcome to the WORLD of the Plastic Beach". The WORLD (being the world we live in, of course) of the Plastic Beach (corrupt, polluted landfill) in which we are creating our WORLD into.... "Welcome to the WORLD of the Plastic Beach," repeated over and over is getting you to THINK of how PLASTIC our world is becoming.

    As you listen to the whole album IN DEPTH!!! this song plays that significant role of creating a message/realization through the music. if you get PLASTIC BEACH(song), you will understand what i mean!
