C#
All of those wild American bilinguals
Bsus2 F#/C# C#
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
C#
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
Bsus2 F#/C# C#
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
G#m
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Amaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
C# C# [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Amaj7 B/C#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Amaj7 B/C#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
C#
Una with long hair will stand by your side
Bsus2 F#/C# C#
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
C#
Chromium pets that video screens would show
Bsus2 F#/C# C#
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
G#m
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Amaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
C# C# [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
