'Plastic Man' was - when the song was wrote - a trendy description of an 'artificial and often inferior' person.
I think the song is about a man who is physically plastic, -
He’s got plastic heart, plastic teeth and toes
He’s got plastic knees and a perfect plastic nose
He’s got plastic lips that hide his plastic teeth and gums
And plastic legs that reach up to his plastic bum -
but also has a plastic personality. -
He’s got a phony smile that makes you think he understands
But no one ever gets the truth from plastic man.
