A
All of those wild American bilinguals
Gsus2 D/A A
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
A
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
Gsus2 D/A A
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
Em
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Fmaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
A A [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G/A
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Fmaj7 G/A
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
A
Una with long hair will stand by your side
Gsus2 D/A A
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
A
Chromium pets that video screens would show
Gsus2 D/A A
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
Em
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Fmaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
A A [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 G/A
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Fmaj7 G/A
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Fmaj7 G/A
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
