Astroboy (And the Proles on Parade) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All of those wild American bilinguals
Who talked to you in Paris of their lonely lives
School days and lost days out there in the midwest
They'd climb on their liners to rejoin their wives
Walking down boulevards, electric eyes
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
[Verse 2]
Ulla with blonde hair would stand by your side
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
Chromium headsets, their video screens would show
Pictures of helplessness, old kings and queens
Radio stations, their faders in dust
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
[Bridge]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
Astroboy (A-watching the proles on parade)
