57 Channels (and Nothin` On) Lyrics

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'...
