Cash Machine Lyrics

Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
A message on the screen
Says, Don't make plans, you're brokeNo, 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, noI 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 backI wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash machineI try to phone a friend
My credit's in the red
I try to skip the fare
Ticket inspector's thereNo, 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, noI 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 backI wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it, yeahWhat am I gonna do?
My girlfriend's test turned blue
We tried to play it safe
That night we could not waitNo, no, this can't be right
She said it would be alright
I can't afford to be a daddy
So I leave tonight, noI 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 backI wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Better believe it
I'm working for the cash machineCash machine
Cash machine
Cash machineThere's a hole in my pocket
My pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
My pocket, my pocketThere's a hole in my pocket
My pocket, my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
