Bruce Springsteen - Channels (And Nothin On) текст песни

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 babys 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
Theres 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 wed 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 youre just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin on
Fifty-seven channels and nothin...
