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
