Oh oh oh oh oh
I aint happy, I'm feelin glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I'm happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
Yeah... Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional?
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual
Hearable
What appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy
Lifeless
To only know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype sh*t
You like it?
Gunsmokin' righteous with one toke
Psychic among those
Possess you with one blow
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Child, like in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprout and tree
Every child of peace
Every cloud and sea
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in the skies
From this f*ckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucked into your lives
Through Russle, not his muscles but the percussion he provides
With me as a guide
y'all can see me now cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so mother f*ckers Remember
but the thought is
I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squeal and, remember
(That it's all in your head)
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
The lyrics to "Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz speaks about feeling down and useless, but still having hope for the future. The repetitive phrase of "I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad" highlights the contrasting emotions of the singer. The line "I got sunshine in a bag" is up for interpretation, but some suggest it refers to drugs as a way to escape the negative emotions. The singer shows confidence in their abilities, claiming they are "good at repairs" and "under each snare" making them "intangible." They then challenge the listener to think about who is truly making good music and encourages them to escape their own negative thoughts. The verses then speak more about the importance of the mind and perception, and that the future can still be bright.
Overall, the lyrics offer a mix of emotions, from feeling down and useless to having hope and confidence in one's abilities. The song encourages the listener to think critically about their surroundings and to not give up hope for the future.
I aint happy, I'm feelin glad
I'm not exactly joyous, but I'm content with where I am
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm carrying positive energy and feelings with me
I'm useless, but not for long
I currently don't have a clear purpose, but that will soon change
The future is coming on
Great things are on the horizon for me
Finally someone let me out of my cage
I've been restricted or held back, but I'm free now
Now, time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting no age
I'm not concerned with age or time, as I'm in the present moment
I'm good at repairs
I have a skill of fixing things, in both literal and figurative sense
Intangible
I cannot be touched, but I exist in some form
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
I challenge the listener's assumptions about me and demand their attention
Panoramic view
I have a broad perspective on things
Look I'll make it all manageable
I can handle any challenges or obstacles that come my way
Pick and choose
I have the power to select my own path and choices
All you different crews, chicks and dudes

Using wordplay to describe the music's impact on the listener, as if they're being affected by a powerful substance

Asking the listener to trust in and follow my guidance, like a child trusting in nature
Rhythm, You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
Claiming that everyone has the ability to have rhythm and suggesting it's a myth that some people just don't have it

Expressing a deep connection with and appreciation for nature and all living things
You see with your eyes, I see destruction and demise, Corruption in the skies, From this f*ckin' enterprise
