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 books and magazines

he´s the quintessential, mindless, modern epicene
his life is meaningful because he get things done
(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 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 bump and grind
then take a careful look around
and brother you will find...
the automatic man
