Pop Song 398 of 500 'More Human than Human' White Zombie 1994

The title and lyrics reference the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, adapted in film as Blade Runner. The title was the slogan of the Tyrell Corporation, manufacturers of the very humaniform biological androids, or "replicants" that are the focal point of the story. "I want more life, fucker" (quoted in the lyrics) is one of the last things his creator hears when the replicant designed to be the perfect – and disposable – soldier (Rutger Hauer) finds him and is denied a reprieve from the programmed 4 year life span.

Yeah, well I am the astro creep
A demolition-style hell american freak, yeah
I am the crawling dead
A phantom in a box, shadow in your head, say
Acid and suicide
Freedom of the blast, read the fuckin' lies, yeah
Scratch off the broken skin
Tear into my heart, make me do it again, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, well I am the jigsaw man
I turn the world around with a skeleton hand, say
I am electric head
A cannibal core, a television said, yeah
Do not victimize
Read the motherfuckin' psychoholic lies, yeah
Into a psychic war
I tear my soul apart and I eat it some more, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
More human than human
More human than human
More human than human
More human than human

More human than human
Yeah, well I am the ripper man
A locomotion mind, love american style, yeah
