Today, we are still at war with insurgents in Afghanistan. It was only 6 years later that President Obama had pulled out troops out of Iraq. Despite unpopular support, the wars had dragged on even past George W. At the end of the song, the singer says, “Man, all I want to do is dance.” Capping the song off like this is just a way of saying that war is bad and no one wants to ever take a real part in it due to its destructiveness.Īlbarn and Hewlett meant to express their disdain of the United State’s government’s actions that brought on the onset of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. We can most definitely confirm the singer’s a soldier when he reveals in the next stanza that “your waters from a bottle, mine’s from a canteen.” All of this is reinforced when the singer also says things like, “At night I hear shots… The cost of life, It seems to get cheaper, Out in the desert… The war is over, So said the speaker with the flight suit on,” with the last line a direct reference to President Bush who delivered his “Mission Accomplished” speech in a flight suit.

The first stanza explains that the singer needs a gun for protection while acknowledging that those that are “burning in the sun…ain’t got a chance.” This might be a nod to a soldier serving in the Middle East somewhere if we are to assume that the song was, in fact, about the wars set out from the Bush Presidency. Even the lyrics within the song nod to real life events concerning the Iraq War under the Bush Administration.Įxamining the lyrics much closer might reveal a bit about the song’s main message or theme.

Dirty Harry is the name of a character that actor Clint Eastwood had played in the titular movie of the same name, in which a police detective sets out to prevent a crime. The single cover is a play on the movie poster for the war movie “Full Metal Jacket”. Dirty Harry is a track with so many references with real life events and parodies cultural icons, more specifically war in its entirety. The third single of Gorillaz’s album, Demon Days, is a doozy.
