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
