he's the latest super hero 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

his life is meaningful because he get things done
(bang bang) he's dead (bang bang) he's dead
chalk up another triumph for our hero
the automatic man

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
he's the automatic man

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

so if you are troubled by the daily b__p and grind
then take a careful look around
and brother you will find...
the automatic man
