Turn on my VCR
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on The Tammy Show

Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years

Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years


Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go

I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years

An Otis Redding song
It's all I own


When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down

You make the best of what's still around

Plug in my MCI

To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain

Pick up the telephone
I've listened here for years
No-one to talk to me

I've listened here for years

When the world is running down

You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around


When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears

I run "Deep Throat" again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat

The cans are running out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat


When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around

When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around


When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down

You make the best of what's still around
