Unctuous Robot
John Flansburgh, John Linnell
[Chorus]
Stop repeating things I’m saying
Stop repeating things I’m saying
You’re an unctuous robot
You’re an unctuous robot
You are, you are
[Verse 1]
"I know you are but what am I?"
Is what I say when I’m admiring my reflection
While dressing in the clothes I found in your room
[Verse 2]
Secretly you like me, secretly you like me, secretly
You actually like the things about me you pretend that you don’t
But here’s the thing nobody knows:
Inside me there’s a smaller man at the controls
[Bridge]
All my works are forgeries
Impressive, yes, but worthless forgeries
Impressive, yes, until you learn they’re forgeries
[Chorus]
Stop repeating things I’m saying
Stop repeating things I’m saying
You’re an unctuous robot
You’re an unctuous robot
You are, you are
