Go to a cash machine, to get a ticket home,
A messange 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 payed 3 weeks 5 days till i'm seen right
CHORUS:
I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never making, but you can't look back
I'll wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better belive 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 fair, ticket inspectors there
No, no, this can't be right, I live a honest life
It seems like sometimes you don't cross the line and you don't get by
CHORUS:
I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never making, but you can't look back
I'll wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better belive it, I'm working for the cash machine
What am I going do, my girlfriend's test turned blue
We tried ti play it safe, that nightwe could not wait
No, no, this can't be right, she said it would be all right
I can't afford to be a daddy so I leave tonight
CHORUS:
I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never making, but you can't look back
I'll wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be
Better belive it, I'm working for the cash machine
There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
