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

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