Three weeks five days
But you can't look back
It seems like sometimes
I'm working for the cash machine
So I leave tonight, no
To where I want to be
Better believe it, yeah
I can't afford to be a daddy
You don't cross the line
Cash machine
My girlfriend's test turned blue
I try to skip the fare
My pocket, my pocket
My pocket, my pocket
I scratch a living, it ain't easy
To where I want to be
I'm always paying, never make it
I've only just been paid
I try to phone a friend
I'm always paying, never make it
No, no, this can't be right
There's a hole in my pocket
To where I want to be
That night we could not wait
But you can't look back
We tried to play it safe
I know that time is tight
There's a hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
Cash machine
Better believe it
I scratch a living, it ain't easy
A message on the screen
Better believe it
I wonder if I'll ever get
My pocket, my pocket
What am I gonna do?
There's a hole in my pocket
No, no, this can't be right
She said it would be alright
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
You know it's a drag
No, no, this can't be right
I'm always paying, never make it
I scratch a living, it ain't easy
I wonder if I'll ever get
You know it's a drag
Ticket inspector's there
I'm working for the cash machine
My credit's in the red
You know it's a drag
'Til I'm seen, right, no
Says, “Don't make plans, you're broke”
You don't get by, no
I live an honest life
Cash machine
