i bought a bourgeoise house in the hollywood hills
with a truckload 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 halfpast dawn
there was fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven 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 fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
middle 8
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 byebye john
our love’s fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven 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
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
i can see by your eyes friend you’re just about gone
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
fiftyseven channels and nothin’ on
