Lyrics

[00:31.50] Turn on my V.C.R.
[00:33.97] Same one I've had for years
[00:35.76] James Brown on the Tammy show
[00:37.48] Same tape I've had for years
[00:39.54] I sit in my old car
[00:41.23] Same one I've had for years
[00:43.32] Old battery's running down
[00:45.09] It ran for years and years
[00:47.37] Turn on the radio
[00:49.24] The static hurts my ears
[00:51.26] Tell me where would I go
[00:53.05] I ain't been out in years
[00:55.25] Turn on the stereo
[00:57.00] It's played for years and years
[00:59.06] An Otis Redding song
[01:00.61] It's all I own
[01:01.98] When the world is running down
[01:05.94] You make the best of what's still around
[01:09.89] When the world is running down
[01:13.72] You make the best of what's still around
[01:18.54] Plug in my M.C.I
[01:20.32] To excercise my brain
[01:22.31] Make records on my own
[01:23.86] Can't go out in the rain
[01:26.26] Pick up the telephone
[01:28.16] I've listened here for years
[01:29.91] No one to talk to me
[01:31.67] I've listened here for years
[01:33.02] When the world is running down
[01:36.89] You make the best of what's still around
[01:40.93] When the world is running down
[01:44.53] You make the best of what's still around
[02:20.47] When I feel lonely here
[02:22.29] Don't waste my time with tears
[02:24.20] I run 'Deep Throat' again
[02:25.91] It ran for years and years
[02:27.92] Don't like the food I eat
[02:29.83] The cans are running out
[02:31.71] Same food for years and years
[02:33.40] I hate the food I eat
[02:35.37] When the world is running down
[02:38.76] You make the best of what's still around
[02:42.75] When the world is running down
[02:46.41] You make the best of what's still around
[02:50.67] When the world is running down
[02:54.32] You make the best of what's still around
[02:58.42] When the world is running down
[03:01.94] You make the best of what's still around
[03:15.24]
