Turn on my V.C.R., 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 M.C.I, 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
