|
He's the latest superhero with powers so profound |
|
He leaped a dotted line in just a single bound |
|
I know you must have seen him in books and magazines |
|
He's quintessential, mindless, modern, epicine |
|
His life is meaningful |
|
Because he gets things done |
|
(Bang bang) |
|
Bang bang he's dead |
|
(Bang bang) |
|
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 a careful look around and brother you will find |
|
The automatic man |
