The song opens with Benjamin getting off a gold elevator - much like the one Trump favours, singing a song about worshipping money.

There's also a few lyrics from Gorillaz's dystopian view of the future that stand out.
"If this be the end / Then so shall it be"

I'm not too sure they're keen for The Donald to take over.

"What the whole world, and whole beasts of nations desire: power"

Yep, definitely not keen.

Whatever you think of the soon-to-be president, he's inspired a solid tune.

Former Blur frontman Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's animated band revealed over social media in September that they were back and releasing new music. The duo's last album was over five years ago now.

Hewlett has said that the album was "really fuckin' special and couldn't be rushed."

You take your time, guys.

Here are the lyrics in full.

Here is our tree
That primitively grows
When we go to bed
Scare crows from the Far a-East
Come to eat its tender fruits
I have thought that the
Best way to protect our tree
Is by building walls
Walls like unicorns in full glory and galore
Even stronger than the walls of Jericho
Be glad then my friend
That in a few
We shall reap abundantly
What we'd always dreamt of havin
Enough of the starvin
It is love
That is the root of all evil
Not our tree
And thank you my friend
For trusting me

Hallelujah Money
Hallelujah Money

How will we know
When the morning comes
We are still humanz.
How will we know?
How will we dream?
How will we love?
How will we know?

Don't worry my friend
If this be the end
Then so shall it be
Until we say so
Nothing will move
Ah, don't worry
It is not against our morals
It's legally tender
Touch my friend
What the whole world, and whole beasts of nations desire: power

Hallelujah Money
Cross the chemtrail sun
Hallelujah Money
