Turn on my VCR, 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 ond 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
Plug in my MCI 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
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
