How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“O Green World” is a song tinged with influences from industrial rock and incorporating minimal, atmospheric arrangements. The track talks about pollution and what has happened to Earth. In the song, 2-D begs to be brought back to a time when the Earth wasn’t polluted and still filled with life and joy.

The track is a thematic predecessor to Gorillaz’s third album, Plastic Beach, which is filled with references to pollution and man-made destruction.
