 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
