I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills |
|
With a trunkload of hundred thousand dollar bills |
|
Man came by to hook up my cable TV |
|
We settled in for the night my baby and me |
|
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn |
|
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish |
|
So I hopped into town for a satellite dish |
|
I tied it to the top of my Japanese car |
|
I came home and I pointed it out into the stars |
|
A message came back from the great beyond |
|
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires |
|
We might'a got all nice and friendly |
|
If we'd made it upstairs |
|
All I got was a note that said "Bye-bye John |
|
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin' on" |
|
(Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on) |
|
So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast |
|
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast |
|
'Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet |
|
And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace |
|
Judge said "What you got in your defense son?" |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
I can see by your eyes friend you're just about gone |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on |
|
Fifty-seven channels and...nothin' on |
