Random Number Generation Lyrics

Random number generation
All our feelings and thoughts
Expressed in ones and in oughts
In endless spiralling chains
You can't decode or explain
Cos you are so analog
God, dog, I, eye, I, God, dog

We're the random number generation
We are random number generated
We are random numbers

In the regime of the solid state
Wheels spin when you iterate
K is x² - 1
But .54321
When x is taken × 2
That's when we're coming for you

We're the random number generation
We are random number generated
We are random numbers

Mister Little started something huge
Iggy Pop, Iggy Stooge
All the children shout out
"Hey, here we are"

We're the random number generation
We are random number generated
We are random numbers
