When The World Is Running Down Lyrics

When The World Is Running Down lyrics

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

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 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 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
