  • I called the teacher 'cause I wanted to confess it now
    Can I make the time for me to come and get it blessed somehow
    She spoke to me in such a simple and decisive tone
    Her sweet admission left me feeling in position from

    I don't take these things so personal
    Anymore, anymore
    I don't think it's irreversible
    Anymore

    Somebody hooted and they hollered can I buy a vowel
    Don't let her catch you in the act of throwing in the towel
    And when it's not as it appears to be, the flagrant foul
    Can I put my fingers in your mouth before you start to growl

    I don't think that it's so terrible
    Anymore, anymore
    I don't think that it's unbearable
    Anymore

    Tell me now, I know that it just won't stop
    You will find your flow when you go robot
    I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
    Robots don't care where I've been
    You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
    Robots are my next of kin

    Sometimes I feel like I'm a sentimental trooper
    She cried so hard, you know she looked like Alice Cooper

    I don't think that it's so personal
    Anymore, anymore
    I don't think it's irreversible
    Anymore

    Tell me now, I know that it just won't stop
    You will find your flow when you go robot

    I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
    Robots don't care where I've been
    You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
    Robots are my next of kin

    I'm kissing high and low
    Our bodies like two dominoes
    Can I come and get you when I hit you in your party clothes
    Let's turn this cosplay holiday, what we obey
    And now we're welcoming each other to this cabaret

    I don't think that it's so terrible
    Anymore, anymore
    I don't think that it's unbearable
    Anymore

    Tell me now, I know that it just won't
    Stop
    You will find your flow when you go robot
    I want to thank you and spank you upon your silver skin
    Robots don't care where I've been
    You've got to choose it to use it, so let me plug it in
    Robots are my next of kin Writer/s: ANTHONY KIEDIS, CHAD GAYLORD SMITH, JOSH ADAM KLINGHOFFER, MICHAEL PETER BALZARY

  • Eloquentracer92 from Yoooo WassupThis is one of the songs where I know the actual meaning, but I interpret it as something else. In this case the song’s actual meaning (which is a really great meaning) is described above, but I still think it means doing the thing with a robot.
