I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two.
Lying awake intent and tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop [bad word] through.
Oh-a oh
They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

You are a radio star
You are a radio star

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car,
Video killed the radio star.
