57 Channels And Nothin On
Bruce Springsteen
Letra

Verse 1:

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 half-past dawn:

There was fifty-seven channels and nothin on

Verse 2:

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

Verse 3:

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,"
