Lyrics When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around - The Police
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
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
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
