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