It's good to see you baby it's been a long, long while
We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles
But thing are different now since the good old days
And you've been in some trouble
Since we went our separate ways
Well have to say hello maybe some other time instead
'Cause you're wanted by the police
And my wife thinks you're dead
I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a, oh-a
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-a
I met your children
Oh-a oh-a
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Well, you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody about state I'm in
You won't catch me cryin' 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
When you were young and your heart
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
But if this ever changin' world
In which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die Live and let die
But baby (Baby)
Remember (Remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong
Hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

I always wonder what these young teachers will do for a job for the rest of their lives after getting an education for a job they probably won’t be allowed to do anymore.
