I saw you on the tv back in '92
Lying awake intent on seeing you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh uh oh
They took the credits out without apology
Rewritten by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
Oh uh oh
I met your children
Oh uh oh
What did you tell them?
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Pixels came and broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an empty stage studio
We see the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the themes used to go
Oh uh oh
You were the first one
Oh uh oh
You were the last one
Internet killed the video star.
Internet killed the video star.
In my mind and on my screen
We can't rewind we lost the machines
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
In my mind and on my screen
We can't rewind we lost the machine
Pixels came and broke your heart
Put the blame on Youtube Stars
You are a video star
You are a video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star
Internet killed the video star. (You are a video star.)
