[Hudson]
The numbers, what do they mean?

[Mason]
Got the party started down in Cuba
Best bar fight ever, everything went bananas
Our plan to kill Castro failed
I was sent to Soviet jail

The prisoner Reznov helped me escape
Get back to covert ops now that I'm no longer an inmate
Blow their rocket, make the commies throw a fit
Woods, you look like hammered shit!

[Woods]
Looks don't count for shit in the jungle, this is goddamn Nam baby!
The Tet offensive's goin' off, gooks in the wires, this is gettin' crazy!
Russian roulette with the NVA
Then blow the goddamn Ho Chi Minh trail away
Once we prove that the Soviets are involved
The mystery of this war will be solved

[Reznov]
I am here with a warning your government should heed
Dragovich's attack is planted like a seed
[Chorus]
What do the numbers mean?
Nova 6 is a killing machine
Sleeper cells will awaken soon
Must stop them before the world goes boom!

From Cuba to the Khe Sanh
Hong Kong streets to the jungles of Vietnam
Iron Curtain and a Cold War
Bombs explodin' on the dance floor

Seven, fifteen, one, two, nineteen, seven, twentyfive, six, thirteen, six, seven, fifteen, forteen, zero

[Mason]
Reznov and I go to waste Steiner
Rezy kills the bastard just as Hudson arrives there
Hudson claims that I did it myself
That's insane, but that ridic'theory back on the shelf!

[Hudson]
Dragovich programmed you to do his bidding
Turning us against ourself was hardest hitting
Where are the broadcast stations? What do the numbers mean?
How many sleeper agents remain unseen?
Reznov's in your head, died long ago
Your mental sanity is starting to go
Dissociative disorder is the explanation
For your Russian friend in your imagination

[Mason]
Now that these injections are wearing off
My memory is lit like a molotov!
Reznov reprogrammed me whilst in the slammer
To kill the Commie trio, like an American hammer

[JFK]
Our very way of life is at risk
It's up to you to stop the evil Communists

[Chorus]
What do the numbers mean?
Nova 6 is a killing machine
Sleeper cells will awaken soon
Must stop them before the world goes boom!

From Cuba to the Khe Sanh
Hong Kong streets to the jungles of Vietnam
Iron Curtain and a Cold War
Bombs explodin' on the dance floor
[Reznov]
Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner must die
Otherwise their plans will cause the world to fry
Dragovich's influence is spreading like a cancer
How do you stop him? You must find the answer

He has sleeper agents placed across many borders
And a numeric combination to give them their orders
Who are the agents? Are they in USA?
It could be anyone, even you, who shot JFK
