When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best - Lyrics by Sting


Lyrics
Turn on my V.C.R., 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 excercise 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
