I go to a cash machine to get a ticket home but a message on the screen says "Don't make plans, you're broke."

No, no this can't be right.
I know that time is tight.
I've only just been paid .

No...
I scratch a living, it ain't easy you know it's a drag I'm always paying, never make it but I can't look back.

I wonder if I'll ever get to where I want to be, better believe it.

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 live an honest life.
It seems like sometimes if you don't cross the line you don't get by...
No...

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.
