Song 2: When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's (Still Around)

Verse 1
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 

Chorus
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 

Chorus
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 


Awesome Piano solo


When the world (When the world) 
Is running down, down, down (is running down, down, down)
You make the best of it (You make the best of it)
What's still around, yeah (What's still around, yeah)

Rap:

We five black guys that don't take the time 
This is the way we break down the line 
His name is not called with the most finesse 
'Cause he can do it really good, he can do it the best 
Playin' up with Darryl Jones is on the bass 
Playin' funky-funky grooves all over the place 
Playin' Omar Hakim all nice and neat 
He can hang it down with the funky-funky beat 
Dolette M. and Janice P. 
Playin' background vocals for you and me 
Playin' everybody's got to get goin' with the thing 
For the man for the night 
It's Sting, it's Sting! 
Wave your hands in the air 
And wave 'em like you just don't care 
They be gettin' down with Sting sounds 
Everybody say oh-yeah (oh-yeah) 
Oh-yeah (oh-yeah), oh-yeah (oh-yeah) 
Oh-yeah (oh-yeah), oh-yeah (oh-yeah) 
You don't stop! 
Say it, one for the money, two for The Police, 
Come on everybody let's rock this place. 
Put your hands together, y'all 
Let's break: that's Sting! Hit it! 

Oh___ (Oh___) x8

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 

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
