[Verse]
F
All of those wild American bilinguals
D#sus2 A#/F F
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
F
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
D#sus2 A#/F F
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
Cm
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
C#maj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
F F [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
C#maj7 D#/F
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
C#maj7 D#/F
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
F
Una with long hair will stand by your side
D#sus2 A#/F F
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
F
Chromium pets that video screens would show
D#sus2 A#/F F
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
Cm
Radio stations that fade as in dust
C#maj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
F F [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
C#maj7 D#/F
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
C#maj7 D#/F
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
C#maj7 D#/F
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
