1,532,622,974,712 channels and nothin' on

(to the tune 57 Channels and nothin on)

I bought a groovy young house in the Lewisville hills

Like a plump red cherry on my other stack of bills

And my friends sold me on some digital TV

So here I am sick, just the flat panel and me

I flicked round and round, might as well watch my lawn

There was 1,532,622,974,712 channels and nothin' on

Well now HD entertainment was my personal wish

So off to Best Buy for a satellite dish.

Installer came by to check out my domicile

He looked at the sky, and then said with a smile

"No clear Southern face." Back to cable TV.

There's 1,532,622,974,712 channels and nothin' to see.

Well it might have gotten better had I found something cool

Instead there's Oprah, and Judy, and a cat named Raul

And more Rachel Wray, God knows that I'm done

1,532,622,974,712 channels and nothin' on

So I did what any of us old sick guys would do

I climbed up the stairs and stumbled in my room

I searched then I grabbed the first piece of mind I could find

And I ran down the stairs and sat on my behind

I turned off the beast and I shot it a look

My head boiling in anger at my time that it took

Friends, revenge is best served in the pages of a book

1,532,622,974,712 channels and nothin' on...
