[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh, and if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind
Then take another look around, and brother, you will find
The Automatic Man
