Gorillaz - Dirty Harry (lyrics)

It's my first film on You Tube, so please, show some forbearance. Thanks!
Of course I don't own the music (it belongs to Gorillaz) or pictures (I found them by Google).

[@ronaldfrye5234]

I have never listened to a Gorillaz song that i did not like....but, i have noticed that to truely understand their music, you have to study the songs more than just listen to them....i have gone over this song many times and i think that they are making three statements with this work....on the surface they are showing the pain, loss, suffering and futility of the Iraq war (i am an iraq veteran so dont get your panties in an uproar about that statement)....then on a visual level they are portraying the effects of poverty on society and our need to eliminate it.....but, beneath both I believe, is a look at the drug culture, and the way it has transformed the low income housing of the world, into a constant battle ground.........i dont think the artists are attempting to say that drugs are good or bad....i think they just want to pull back the curtain and force people to see it and admit that its there

[@ronaldfrye5234]

+ronald frye anyway......thats my oppinion on it

[@holypariah]

+ronald frye your wrongness is beautiful.

[@ronaldfrye5234]

lol ty pariah.....as i say, i could be completely off base.....that's one of the awesome things about Gorillaz productions....they always use a superficial coating to confront amazingly complicated topics...but they choose not to outright tell people what those topics are....they leave it up to the audience to examine, contemplate and come to their own conclusions....trying to analyze a Gorillaz song is lot like trying to define 18th century existential poetry...you will come up with an answer but odds are no one will agree with it, no matter what you come up with and its almost guaranteed that's its completely different than what the poet was actually talking about....i think Shrek said it best, and i quote, "Ogres are like onions." lol...so, in conclusion, and as an apology for dragging a short answer into a long winded essay, I am wrong. No one can answer this unless they helped write it. And that's why i like their works so much lol.

[@ronaldfrye5234]

perfect example of what i am trying to get at is the song 'Clint Eastwood'....a lot of people think that song is about saying no to drugs roflmao and i think we can all agree that's wayyyyy off base lol lol lol...but, like I've said several times in these comments....everyone comes up with their own interpretations about these songs

[@mercedesalvarez7438]

Right, there is always that one song from an artist you don't really like but with this band I literally like all the songs!

[@gavinboyce2284]

No its to keep myself from harm listen closely

[@elitecrystalfl4me271]

No, it is,"to keep myself from harm." You might see me say this often, but Gorillaz's songs are about drugs. As far as I know, all of them are. "I need a gun, to keep myself from harm," means he needs to be on constant alert so that he 'doesn't get hurt.' Which also explains the gun shots he hears at night and how he is a light sleeper. That is why ,"life is getting cheaper." "Your water is from a bottle; mine is from a canteen." Means life is less valuable to him, also supporting how his life is getting cheaper. "I need a gun, to keep myself among," doesn't make sense, honestly. Their songs usually revolve around one thing. Most of them either revolving around crack or methamphetamine.

[@gavinboyce2284]

Elyssa McKnight yes were both right
