Gorillaz Cracker Island

The fictional band, Gorillaz unveils their latest single, “Cracker Island” with some help from Thundercat. Production duties on the record are shared between Greg Kurstin, Gorillaz, and Remi Kabaka Jr. The lead single arrives in the midst of their The Last Cult campaign, where Murdoc Niccals is the “self-appointed Great Leader.” While it remains unclear what The Last Cult is, it seems like a promising sign that Gorillaz will be dropping a new project soon.

Lyrics

[Verse 1: 2-D & Thundercat]
On Cracker Island it was born
To the collective of the dawn
They were planting seeds at night
To grow a made-up paradise
Where the truth was auto-tuned (Forever cult)
And it’s sadness I consumed (Forever cult)
Into my formats every day (Forever cult)
In the end, I had to pay (What world is this?)
In the end, I had to pay (I purged my soul)
In the end, I had to pay (I drank to write)
Nothing more to say (I drank to write)

[Chorus: 2-D]
They taught themselves to be a cult
They didn’t know its many strategies
They taught themselves to be a cult
They didn’t know its many strategies (Fantasies)

[Bridge: Thundercat]
What world is this?
What world is this?

[Verse 2: 2-D & Thundercat]
On Cracker Island it was raised (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
By the collective from the grave (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
It only came out at night (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
It ate up their paradise (Paradise)
Where the truth was auto-tuned (Forever cult)
And it’s sadness I consumed (Forever cult)
Into my formats everyday (Forever cult)
In the end, I had to pay (What world is this?)
Out there on my silver lake (I was not there)
In the end, it will be grey (Beneath the hills)
I’m like a ship between the tides (I saw myself)
I held on, I survived (Beneath the void)

[Chorus: 2-D]
They taught themselves to be a cult
They didn’t know its many strategies
They taught themselves to be a cult
They didn’t know its many strategies (Fantasies)

[Verse 3: 2-D & Thundercat]
On Cracker Island it will die (Forever cult)
Join the collective in the sky (Forever cult)
And on the shining bolt of light (Forever cult)
Go up to paradise (What world is this?)
Where the truth is auto-tuned (I purged my soul)
And it’s sadness I consume (I drank to write)
Into my formats every day (I drank to write)
In the end I had to pay (Forever cult)
In the end I had to pay (Forever cult)
In the end I’ll be okay (Forever cult)

[Outro: 2-D]
Nothing more to say
Nothing more to say
Nothing more to say
