57 Channels — текст песни (Bruce Springsteen)

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 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 channels and nothin on



Well we mighta made some friends with some billionaires

We mighta 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 busted me for disturbing 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...
