When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around

[Verse 1] Turn on my V.C.R., same one I've had for years James Brown on the T.A.M.I. 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 haven'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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Plug in my M.C.I, to exercise 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] [x2]
