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

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