It's a sweet sensation
Over the dub
A one off situation
We don't want to stop

It's the price for
Over the dub
With the sweetest inspiration
We don't want to stop

It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop

It's a sweet sensation
Over the dub
A one off situation
We don't want to stop

It's the price for
Over the dub
With the sweetest inspiration
We don't want to stop

It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop
It's the money or stop

    My Opinion:I think Damon Albarn was smoking a lot of dope after Blur disbanded (note, I don't think this was a bad thing) and I'm pretty sure he still smokes dope. I also think Damon Albarn likes writing lyrics that have several layers of possible meaning.

    Re-Hash is, in my opinion, a commentary on both drug use and mainstream celebrity culture. The term re-hash implies re-stocking on the drug, but also reflects a popular culture that is heavily weighted by shows like x-Factor and American Idol, where people perform well known songs in hopes of getting famous and wealthy.

    General Comment:I really don't think that it is about drugs. First off, "hash" meant "chopped up" before it meant anything related to canibus. Re-hash is an actual word that means "To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration." As someone said before, Dub is actually a musical term. If you know and understand the history of the band, and why it was created, you would know that this is exactly what they were trying to make a statement about. They wanted to break away from the "norm" and create music that was truly original, and not be limited by the music industry, which consists largely of songs that all follow the same structure, rhythm, and just mash power chords.

    "Its the money or stop" is referring to how many artists would probably stop making music if there was no money in it.

    Besides, why would a band that is trying to break free from the norm have their first song on their first album be about drugs? They were trying to make a statement, and it had nothing to do with weed.

    My Opinion:why cant the song be a play on words and have the "drug" references being symbolic of excess and/or of certain sub-cultures and/or street lingo so more than one meaning can be found. It seems they/(Gorillaz)are fond of puns and like words with multiple meanings lyrically. 2 cents does not buy much these days but there it is.

    General Comment:First of all, the song is very obviously about marijuana. "Dub" is a quarter sack where I'm from.

    Secondly, it's not a shallow interpretation at all. Even Rush (sophisticated progressive rock song) has a song about marijuana. It's been an inspiration to some of the country's greatest writers and philosophers (Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, Carl Sagan). It's not a brain-rotting drug, it's perception expanding, and the Gorillaz are making reference to it.

    General Comment:Well acording to Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett (creators of the Gorillaz) the reason they made the band was because they thought that the music being created by most artists today is crap. I think that this song is about how most musicians that make it big just make one good song. After that they start to get repetious, but they continue to make money. Then they get a kind of high out of making money (rehab for cash), and continue to keep making bad music. So basicly these artists can either make their bad music and make all of the money or they can make the music that they think sounds good and risk loosing money. Thats what I think.

    General Comment:Okay, REAL lyrics. Just read 'Rise Of The Ogre' people:

    It's a sweet sensation, over the dub
    Oh what a situation, that don't wanna stop
    It's the drugstore soulboy, over the dub
    With the sweetest inspiration, we don't wanna stop

    It's the money or stop
