Dm 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 Am G We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn: Dm There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Chorus: Dm Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on β 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 Chorus Dm G Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires Dm We might'a got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs Am G All I got was a note that said, "Bye-bye, John Dm Our love's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on," β Chorus So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast β'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?" β"Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on," Chorus Am I can see by your eyes, friend, you're just about gone Chorus - x2 Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm Dm G |
