Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
A message on the screen
Says, don't make plans, you're broke
No, no, this can't be right
I know that times is tight
I've only just been paid
Three weeks, five days till I've seen
Right
No
[Verse 2]
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 a cash machine
[Verse 3]
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's seems like sometimes you don't cross the line
You don't get by
No
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 a cash machine
Cash machine
Cash machine
Cash machine
[Verse 7]
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
