Astroboy (and The Proles On Parade) Lyrics - Age Of Plastic - Buggles

All of those wild American bilinguals 

Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives 

School days and last days out there in the Midwest 

They 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 

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 

Una with long hair will stand by your side 

And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride 

Chromium pets that video screens would show 

Pictures of helplessness, old kings and queens 

Radio stations that fade as in dust 

All their transmitters are crumbling with rust 

Let them be broken and say you don't care 

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade 

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
