Flowers's delivery of the line "Are we human, or are we dancer?" has been interpreted by some as "Are we denser?", prompting the rock star to clarify the wording in a recent interview.
The 27-year-old has now voiced his annoyance at the mix-up, saying he deliberated over the wording for some time.
WENN quotes him as saying: "That sucks a bit. I don't like, 'Are we denser?' as an alternative. I really care what people think but people don't seem to understand 'Human'. They think it's nonsense. But I was aching over those lyrics for a very long time to get them right."
The lyric is a quote taken from gonzo author Hunter S. Thompson, reading: "We're raising a generation of dancers."
New Killers album Day And Age is released on November 24.
