God Is a Number Lyrics by Sleater-Kinney

The Hot Rock

1999

[Intro]
One hundred twenty-six
One twenty-seven
One hundred twenty-eight
One twenty-nine
One thirty, one thirty-one
[Verse 1]
We're a reference number, we're a code, a screen
Army out of digits, out of fax machines
Mapping out the head and heart, mapping out the history
If a part does not compute, cut it out or cut it free
[Chorus]
God is a number
God is a number
[Verse 2]
What do you want to know? What can you believe?
Grow up on the internet and get off on TV
Tell me about God and country, music, heart, and history
Answer me with computations, answer me with industry
[Chorus]
God is a number
God is a number
[Verse 3]
Knock on every door, programmed to receive
Answer my communication, display, command, retreat
Looking for some kind of heart inside this great machine
I don't get an answer except oh-one-one, oh-one-one, oh-one
[Chorus]
God is a number
God is a number
[Bridge]
Big one, I need loyalty
I need reasons
I need something to
I need a big one
I need loyalty
I need a reason
I need something to
I need something to believe
I need it right now and I
I need something to believe
I need it right now, I need it right now, I need it right now
[Outro]
One hundred thirty-two
One hundred thirty-three, one thirty-four
One hundred thirty-five, one hundred thirty-six
One hundred thirty-seven, one hundred thirty-eight
