When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around – Police

When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around – 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

    Thanks for posting these lyrics…I bought this on cassette back in the 80’s and it’s ran for years and years with me singing the very wrong lyrics

    It’s easy to get the lyrics wrong. Good thing we have the Internet now.
