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 down
|
There was fifty-seven channels and notin' 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 channnels 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"
|
|
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 bsted me for disturbin' the almighty peace
|
Judge said "What you got in your defense son ?"
|
"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'...
