Lyrics for Automatic Man
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, 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 But if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind Then take another look around and brother, you will find The automatic man
