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 and 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 Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, 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 Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade Let them be broken and say you don't care Astro boy, i'm watching the proles on parade |

On some lonely motorway
I was forced to spend the day Services--I stop the car Restaurant and in the bar I lie right back and turn the radio on Now for major surgery I'll be you and you'll be me Wonder what was in her mind Was I really so unkind To lie right back and turn the radio on Technopop Technopop Technopop Can we settle out of court Loyalty cannot be bought Effortlessly changing gear Maybe this will all end here I lie right back and turn the radio on Technopop Technopop Technopop Technopop |
