WE ARE 138

Based on George Lucas's 1971 science fiction film "THX-1138," this song reflects the anonymity attached to living with a number for a name in a 25th century police state.

Jerry Only told a fan Aparently:

"'138' is like people being treated as androids where you have a number instead of a name, so it's like the human number would be a 138... We had buttons made once, they were robots with '138' that looked like half human android kinda things, long before your Terminator or stuff like that."

Glenn Danzig summarized it in a Twec.Com interview :

"They didn't write it, and they don't know what the f**k it's about. It's about violence."

The myth I was told :

I was always told it was Danzig playing on words, that sound like each other or ryhmn. "We are 138" becomes "We are Hate". that is was what I was told it was all about. Hey what would I know I never Wrote "We are 138".
