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 books and magazines,
he´s the quintessential mindless modern epicene,
his life is meaningful because he get things done,
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 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
so if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind,
then take a careful look around your brother
you will find... the automatic man
