A perky, potent, and dream-experimental pop combination of Blur’s Damon Albarn and his cartoon band join joining with the beloved brothers Ron and Russell Mael with this catchy, satirical number, heralding the new Gorillaz album, The Mountain, out on 20 March 2026 via Kong.

I am the one to give you life again
I am the one to save your soul, amen
As the shadows, they are forming, come and join me centre stage (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
If you are 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)
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)
No more bad news
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Everything is slowing down yet everything is faster (Oh, what a happy land we live in)
While everyone is 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)
No more bad news
So you can sleep well at night
And the palace of your mind will be bright
Everything is slowing down yet faster (Will be bright)
Consuming us, I'll save you from yourself (Will be bright)
My love bestowed upon this world of fiction (Will be bright)
March to the future happiness grows (Will be bright)
Are you not better off than ever? (Will be bright)
Are you not better off right now? (Will be bright)
When have you felt this way, I ask you (Will be bright)
When have you felt better off than right now? (Will be bright)
[Bridge: Russell Mael]
I am the one to give you life again
I am the one to save your soul, amen
No more bad news (Mountains and rainbows, palaces of love)
So you can sleep well at night and the palace of your mind will be bright (Mountains and rainbows)
So you can sleep well at night and the palace of your mind will be bright (Palaces of love)
So you can sleep well at night and the palace of your mind will be bright (So you can sleep well at night)
And the palace of your mind will be bright (So you can sleep well at night)
And the palace of your mind will be bright (So you can sleep well at night)
And the palace of your mind will be bright (So you can sleep well at night)
And the palace of your mind will be bright
