"God Is a Bullet" is a song from American alternative rock band Concrete Blonde, which was released in 1989 as the lead single from their second studio album Free.

"[5] Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times described "God Is a Bullet" as a "hard rocking, pleading lament" with a "'Peter Gunn'-like bass theme [and] a "sirenlike guitar riff".

"[7] In a review of Free, David Okamoto of the St. Petersburg Times wrote, "The standout is 'God Is a Bullet,' a passionate statement that employs chugging 'Peter Gunn' guitars to drive Napolitano's chilling vignettes and remorse for such slain heroes as John Lennon, Martin Luther King Jr. and Harvey Milk.

"[8] Gene Armstrong of The Arizona Daily Star considered the song to be "sinister" and one which "rides a creepy guitar-bass line that recalls the themes from 'Batman' and 'Peter Gunn'.

"[9] John Kendle of The Winnipeg Sun stated the song is an "anti-gun reworking of the riff from the Batman theme, marked by Napolitano's throaty, she-cat-on-the-prowl vocals".
