[Verse 1]
He's the latest superhero with powers so profound
He can leap a dotted line in just a single bound
I know you must have seen him in the books and magazines
He's the quintessential mindless modern epicene
[Chorus 1]
His life is meaningful
Because he gets things done
Bang bang he's dead
Chalk up another triumph for our hero the Automatic Man
[Verse 2]
It's true you must have met him, he's your best friend and your foe
His opinions are determined by the status quo
A true creature of habit, he smokes three packs a day
When he has an original thought, he forgets it right away
[Refrain]
He's the automatic man
[Chorus 2]
He's a paradigm of carefree living
He's our mentor, disturb him if you can
He's the answer if your peace of mind is lacking
He's our savior, he is the common man
[Outro]
So if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind
Then take a careful look around and brother you will find
The Automatic Man
