Intro :
I heard you on the wireless b ack in fifty-t wo,
lying aw ake in bed then t uning in on y ou.
If I was y oung it didn't st op you coming th rough,

They took the c redit for your sec ond sympho ny,
rewritten b y machine and n ew technolog y.
And now I understand the pr oblems you can see.
O h ah, o h ah, I met your children.
O h ah, o h ah, what did you tell them ?
Video killed the radio star, video killed th e radio star.
Pictures c ame and broke your heart. Oh, ah a h oh.
And now we meet in an ab andoned stud io,
we hear the playback and it s eems so long a go,
and you re member the jingles used to go.
Oh ah, oh ah, you were the first one.
Oh ah, oh ah, you were the last one.
Video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star.
In my m ind and in my car, we can't re wind, we've gone too far.
Oh, ah ah oh, oh, ah ah oh.
Video killed the radio star, video killed the radio star.
In my m ind and in my car, we can't rew ind, we've gone too far.
Pictures came and b roke your heart, put the blame o n VTR.
