VERSE
E
All of those wild American bilinguals
Dsus2 A E
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
E
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
Dsus2 A E
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
BRIDGE
Bm
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Cmaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
E E [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
CHORUS
Cmaj7 Dadd9
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Cmaj7 Dadd9
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

E
Una with long hair will stand by your side
Dsus2 A E
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
E
Chromium pets that video screens would show
Dsus2 A E
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
BRIDGE
Bm
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Cmaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
E E [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
