Cash Machine (Original Version)

[Verse 1]

Go to a cash machine to get a ticket

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'm seen

Right

No

[Chorus]

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 2]

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 livе an honest life

It seems like somеtimes

You don't cross the line, you don't get

By

No

[Chorus]

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 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
