Posthuman Lyrics
She's got eyes like Zapruder, mouth like heroin
She wants me to be perfect like Kennedy
[Pre-Chorus: Marilyn Manson]
This isn't God, this isn't God
This isn't God, this isn't God
God is just a statistic!
God is just a statistic!
[Chorus: Marilyn Manson & Rose McGowan]
Say, "Show me the dead stars, all of them sing" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This is a riot, religious and clean (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Post-Chorus: Marilyn Manson]
God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired
[Verse 2: Marilyn Manson]
She's pilgrim and pagan, soft-worn and social
In all of her dreams she's a saint like Jackie O
[Pre-Chorus: Marilyn Manson]
This isn't God, this isn't God
This isn't God, this isn't God
God is just a statistic!
God is just a statistic!
Say, "Show me the dead stars, all of them sing" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This is a riot, religious and clean (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
"Show me the dead stars, all of them sing" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This is a riot, religious and clean (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Post-Chorus: Marilyn Manson]
God is a number you cannot count to
God is a number you cannot count to
God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired
[Bridge: Rose McGowan]
"All that glitters is cold"
"All that glitters is cold"
"All that glitters is cold"
[Chorus: Marilyn Manson & Rose McGowan]
Say, "Show me the dead stars, all of them sing" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This is a riot, religious and clean (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
"Show me the dead stars, all of them sing" (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
This is a riot, religious and clean (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
[Outro]

About
The word “Posthuman” or “Post-human” is a word that originates from futurology that means a person or entity that exists in a state beyond what we know as a ‘human’.
While the exact meaning of the word ‘Posthuman’ varies, it is generally considered to be a person who through either genetic manipulation or other biointerventionist measures, has the ability to remain healthy and active through an extended period of time that would not be considered normal by our current standards. Their cognitive powers, such as deductive thought or other intellectual capabilities, would far surpass those of a simple human.
“Posthuman” was released on the band’s website before ‘Mechanical Animals’ released, making it the first song from the album to be heard by the public.
