Cover art of 'Democrazy'
I Need a Gun is the first track from Damon Albarn's 2003 solo album, Democrazy and the demo version of the Gorillaz song "Dirty Harry".
Backstory[]
Originally a demo from Damon's solo album Democrazy, Gorillaz made this into the single "Dirty Harry" from the album Demon Days. Damon claimed that some of the songs from that album were meant for Gorillaz, and this was one of them.
The demo consists of a different beat and only the beginning of the released version. The rap section with Bootie Brown, the vocals from the San Fernandez Youth Choir, and the violin part were added in later for the final version.
Lyrics[]
(Uh, uh-uh)
I need a gun to keep myself among
The poor people are burning in the sun
No they don't stand a chance, they ain't got a chance
Somebody's gun, and all we do is dance
And all we do is dance, and all we do is dance
[Verse 2]
(Uh, uh-uh)
I need a gun to keep myself among
The poor people are burning in the sun
They ain't got a chance, they ain't got a chance
I need a gun 'cause all I do is dance
