[Verse]
D
All of those wild American bilinguals
Csus2 G/D D
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
D
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
Csus2 G/D D
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
Am
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
A#maj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
D D [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
A#maj7 C/D
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
A#maj7 C/D
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
D
Una with long hair will stand by your side
Csus2 G/D D
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
D
Chromium pets that video screens would show
Csus2 G/D D
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
Am
Radio stations that fade as in dust
A#maj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
D D [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
A#maj7 C/D
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
A#maj7 C/D
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
A#maj7 C/D
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
