Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
Message on the screen
Says don't make plans,you're broke
No,no this can't be right
I know that time is tight
I've only just been paid
Three weeks five days,til I'm seen
Right...
No...
I scratch a living,it ain't easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying,never make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash machine
I try to phone a friend
My credit's in the red
I try to skip the fare
Ticket inspector's there
No no,this can't be right
I live an honest life
It seems like sometimes
You don't cross the line
You don't get
By...
No...
I scratch a living,it ain't easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying,never make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
Yeah...
What am I gonna do
My girlfriend's test turned blue
We tried to play it safe
That night we could not wait
No no,this can't be right
She said it would be alright
I can't afford to be a daddy
So I leave tonight...
No...
I scratch a living,it ain't easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying,never make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash machine
Cash machine
Cash machine...

There's a hole in my pocket,my pocket,my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket,my pocket,my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
