[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 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 [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 You might also like On Any Other Day The Police No Time This Time The Police Demolition Man The Police [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 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] 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 [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 [Outro] 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
