Cash Machine

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, my pocket, my pocket

There's a hole in my pocket

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
