D#
All of those wild American bilinguals
C#sus2 G#/D# D#
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
D#
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
C#sus2 G#/D# D#
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
A#m
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Bmaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
D# D# [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 C#/D#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Bmaj7 C#/D#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

D#
Una with long hair will stand by your side
C#sus2 G#/D# D#
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
D#
Chromium pets that video screens would show
C#sus2 G#/D# D#
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
A#m
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Bmaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
D# D# [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Bmaj7 C#/D#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
