I bought a bourgeois 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 half-past dawn
There was 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
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 busted 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` Send " 57 Channels And Nothin On" Ringtone to your Cell
