G#
All of those wild American bilinguals
F#sus2 C#/G# G#
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
G#
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
F#sus2 C#/G# G#
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
D#m
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Emaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
G# G# [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F#/G#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Emaj7 F#/G#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
G#
Una with long hair will stand by your side
F#sus2 C#/G# G#
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
G#
Chromium pets that video screens would show
F#sus2 C#/G# G#
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
D#m
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Emaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
G# G# [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F#/G#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Emaj7 F#/G#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Emaj7 F#/G#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
