Bad Religion Lyrics
"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 3 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
so if you are troubled by the daily bump and grind
then take a another look around and brother you will find
the automatic man
