When The World Is Running Down — текст песни (The Police)

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
