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 gets things done
Bang bang he’s dead
Bang bang he’s dead
Chalk up another triumph for
Our hero the atuomatic 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
