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

His life is meaningful

Because he gets things done (Bang bang!)

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

And if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind

Then take another look around and brother, you will find...

The Automatic Man
