Don’t wanna be left out
Thinkin’ for myself
I wanna be part of it all
My brain on the shelf
I wanna have a job
Work for someone else
I will be your automan
Don’t wanna be left out
I wanna be normal
I wanna wear the same clothes
As everybody else
No more second hand
So you can see what I am
I will be your automan
I will do anything you want
Shove a quarter in the slot
And you will understand
I will be your automan
I wanna sell your product
Whatever it may be
I wanna new car
Like the ones that I see
I wanna eat right
Bone dry and squeaky clean
I will be your automan
Don’t wanna be left out
I’ll get a good rating
Ten of fifteen credit cards
Computerized lady
A nuclear kitchen
Robots at the mall
I will be your automan
I will do anything you want
Shove a quarter in the slot
You will understand
I will be your automan
I wanna eat your product
I want it wall to wall
Renewable prescriptions
My Doctor on call
I wanna be sick
I wanna relax
I will be your automan
I will be your automan
I will be your automan
