Can’t believe how far down into the comments I’ve gotten with no one talking about what this song is about. This song is about the Iraqi war, from the perspective of a rank-and-file US soldier. Bootie Brown’s rap is so fucking hard it makes me wonder if he served in that war. “In my backpack I got my act right in case you act quite difficult / And your resolve weakens/ With anger and discontent / Some are seeking and searching like Nimoy / I’m a peace-loving decoy ready for retaliation / I change your whole location to a pine box 6 under / Impulsive, don’t ask why or wonder / Orders given to me are “strike” and I’m thunder / with lightning fast reflexes / On constant alert from the constant hurt / that seems limitless with no drop in pressure / Seems like everybody’s out to test you til they see you break / You can’t conceal the hate that consumes you / I’m the reason why you fill up your Isuzu / Chill with your old lady at the Tilt / I got a 90-day extension and I’m filled with guilt / from things that I’ve seen/ Your water’s from a bottle, mine’s from a canteen / At night I hear the shots ring so I’m a light sleeper / The cost of life seems to get cheaper / Out in the desert with my street sleeper / “The war is over” so says the speaker / With the flight suit on / maybe to him I’m just a pawn / so he can advance / Remember when I used to dance? / Man, all I wanna do is dance”

The artist who creates the visuals for the Gorillaz is called Jamie Hewlett. An artistic hero of mine from the late 80's/90's and the co-author of the original Tank Girl comics. Absolute stylistic genius.

This song was written not too long after the invasion of Iraq by the US. Which is what all of the references to arming children (as most soldiers who went were barely out of school), which is why the children were sing “we’ve got a gun to keep ourselves from harm.” The featured artist was directly referring to a speech done by George W. Bush (who famously wore a flight suit from his time in the air guard) and declared “mission accomplished,” followed by another 15 years worth of war. Dirty Harry was a reference to Bush being seen by the world as an out of control violent enforcer who didn’t care about who got hurt as long as he got to look big, like the cop portrayed by Clint Eastwood.

Clint Eastwood made five Dirty Harry movies, Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988). Plenty of action in all of them. The Dead Pool is the cheeziest of the series, but it showcased Jim Carrey in his first dramatic role with most of Guns N' Roses appearing as his gang. Slash even gets to fire a harpoon gun.

Also, I'm pretty sure this song is about the war in Iraq, "out in the desert with the street sweeper the war is over so said the speaker with the flight suit on", the speaker in the flight suit being Bush. At least that's what I interpret it as.

There is a lot of references in the lyrics to the Iraq conflict in the early 2000s so making some points about that US war being about the fight for oil and former president Bush line announcing the war is over while wearing a flight suit and our soldiers still having to clean up the mess while he looks to advance his position as president. Dirty Harry is a Clint Eastwood character that basically doesnt follow the rules, bit of a renegade attitude, does what he wants without regard to procedure. After 9/11 some countries accused us of having that revenge attitude in regards to our attack on Iraq, regardless of actual international laws or our own constitutional laws that only our congress can declare war on another country, not the President by himself. Lots of opinions on this obviously at that time

Detective Harry Callahan is known as "Dirty Harry" because he gets assigned "every dirty job that comes along." His most famous quote is probably, "Go ahead... Make my Day" My favorite quote is, "But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Punk?" Did I mention that he has a .44 Magnum.
