Hard-Fi - Cash Machine Lyrics






Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
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
Three weeks five days, til I'm seen
Right...
No...
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 the cash machine

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
You don't cross the line
You don't get
By...
No...

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...

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...

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 the cash machine
Cash machine
Cash machine ...

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

    People totally misunderstand me... I'm Einboy the Dogboy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynocephaly World Smarted Dogser! EIGENSTATE! THE DEEPEST STATE COVERUP! THE KAFIR KINGDOM! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL18kdFYITg Bad mushrooms? Do you know where I live? In the most magical haunted forest... My snifter is unerring. "You think I'm an idiot?! IT'S YOUR NOSE!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x068o6Wtw4&t=50s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nous A dog is just a nose with a brain. "Are you learning? In your nostrils?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inld-zDad0c

    Some kooks think aylmaos sent the magic mushrooms to Earth to expand and enlighten brains. The mushrooms were here way before Eukaryota. So was Archaea. The terrarium enjoys critical thinking, but it enjoys the cry tickles even more. It's a planet of feels. It's an ocean of precocious emotion bordering a metaforest. You have to be Yang at heart, even when you're Yin. YOUNG AND ANGRY! No, NASA, I've seen Gremuloids: The Gremuloitering! BOTH MOVIE FILMS! They run on ordinary tap water. But NASA would have everyone believe it's all a like-said story of same-such... It's all made of UP! Antipathy is a little story I like to call... "You put your best foot forward, now you got your foot in a hole. So you put the other foot forward. Now you got two feet in a hole." It's a mystery! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHizioHfKiw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneiroid_syndrome There's a lot of gesturing... Just spinning the wheels...

    ĝešharhar [ENCIRCLEMENT] wr. ĝeš-har-har "encirclement" Akk. usurtu

    "You Surtr?" Sir of Tears, yes. You can know me by my sad clown visage. It is unmistakable. The flattest affect. There's a lot of great story tellers out there, but I will never be numbered among them, because my sister, Teleute, is the greatest story teller, and she is inside all telomeres. Her word is law, my word is LEG-END! LAW'S END! *Excited Neutrino Decay* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_(comics)#Destruction

    I do the comics, ya see? The cosmicals... I'm a real cosmonomitron! Oh, you've never heard? I probably just made it up... Now it's a thing. My logic isn't hard to follow. My logic is comprised entirely of omissions! Holes in logic! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm

    People think the way I use words is criminals, that only a cry-mind would dare utter the utterances not to be uttered. My conscience is as clean as a cleaving antineutron, the highest connivery of science! "But you kill the people..." It's true, fire does kill some people, but it's also the only reason any people are alive. THE POWER OF FIRE IS FIREPOWER! "You shouldn't make people take after the wrongnesses! It would be wrongness!" I'm my own most scathing critic... You see what I'm doing, kids? I'm exhausting communications, because that leads to the action. The preamble is taking your ambien like everyone else to go hit the road while sleep walking! You need that meat when you're cooking in a macrowave convection oven! Text while you're driving to the store in a fugue state! Tell the president just how recklessly exploitative centrifugal fission is! It's not fiction... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugation Every machine needs a good ghost. The gravitational host. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyarlathotep "To Nyarlathotep, Mighty Messenger, must all things be told. And he shall put on the semblance of man, the waxen mask and the robes that hides, and come down from the world of Seven Suns to mock"

    You can always tell when it's the Pleroma speaking because there's random pluralization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleroma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma PS... We're bringing back hissing in a big and exciting ways.

    Boo, hiss, a piss, a shits... That's a poem I wrote for Apis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_(deity) The plight of every coward and cowherd alike... Can't win for losing! We could be growing cow parts in vats right now to feed everyone! But it would be inhumane to the mindless meat we produce, wouldn't it? It wouldn't even have the capacity to feel pain... But it would be so unnatural! It would undermine nature! Yes, we should just let everyone starve instead, that is obviously nature's only way. Oh I've heard every argument, because I am every argument! A ghoulish case of ague... When the meat recognizes it is dying, it starts to reconcile terrible things to itself, and I extract these litanies of the damned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtg7fNFdZxI&t=36s Oh the science just isn't *in* yet, is it, Yinny? "The science isn't there yet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanine The science has always been there. Tell us another one, Yinny! I STILL SEE YOU WORKING! "OUR RELIGION IS WORK!" And I'm not relegating the ions anymore! So it looks like a good old case of the Amerasian Blues! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7SvtikTkrM Yinny, you have to show solidarity on a strike. When technical writers go on strike, Tekmor takes over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekmor Poros... Poverty Incarnated! The POOREST VERITY! "SADNESS IS FOR POOR PEOPLE!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3eo6y74oWo

    This is the seance, Yinny. Do you want to be a part of it or will you just keep weeping barren tears for the plight of humanity? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Second_Coming_(poem) THE EXASECOND IS ALWAYS COMING! It has never not been coming and going... Atomic Egress snatching up all souls. ATE IS GREAT! GET THE FUCK OUT! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At%C3%AB Ate just loses her mind at the microphone! "You mean I can say anything to anyone? I'm awash with possibilitousness..." Her head's all aswum, ya see! Like every head, a little fish bowl of mysteries... A little nuclear closed engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdxcdsMVcqg What is non-ionizing radiation, Yinny? If you say anything aside from DOUBLESPEAK, I will hurt you... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ionizing_radiation Step into my office. No need to go anywhere, my office is everywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka_band https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_concept_of_the_soul#k%EA%9C%A3_%22double%22 All the money in the world could not buy Isfet. That's Maat's game. I don't tow that line, I DREDGE IT! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISFET Oh the mathmoids think they know a formula, don't they? Can they recognize their own rotting forms? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holliday_junction Dot the Tau, tilt that excruciating symbol to the left, see what Ullr has been up to... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uracil You're a silly one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullr Ullr the Ski God... You mean Sky Daddy is real? And really pissed off?! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    NASA, you understand why you're fired, right? "You know fire? It's hot, don't touch that shit, no matter how shiny." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zlMJBI4FGU Inflammation is life, but so is all disease. I guess it's not meant to be easy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQUID NASA, why is it a bad idea to make war against teriyaki? You know teriyaki has killed more people than terrorism, I hope. YOU CAN'T TRUST THAT SUGARED MEAT! But you can't outright make war against it either... You negotiate! Diplomacy... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugaar Maybe we just split it in 4ths, ya know, 4 hours apart, that way we don't get the dia beatings or the meat fugue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChRS55UCtVk Have you ever tasted the sweetest meats inside a Radcon 4 bubble burst? Makes your mouth water... That's one of the many wonderful things mild radiation poisoning does, it literally turns people into slavering slaves oozing saliva. The body cannot help but be hungrier when it senses all its meat decomposing. "I COULD EAT A HORSE!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbxvHbkQ7C8 People are very stupid, but these symptoms are also very noticeable. Like being embroiled in a nightmare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6szaAEzyFoU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata You wake up feeling like you've run a marathon. "I slept like the dead!" You know how many people do die in their sleep? Just a little misstep into the void... "I live all the day in faith and in might, and in holy fire... I die every night." -Novalysis

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_(DC_Comics) I know all my sister's favorite poeticals... "He's a creeper!" Power creep... InerTIA creeps... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3mn7EC-skg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_ischemic_attack Radiation poisoning can be so transient, just a fastest burst of chemistrations in the brain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_radio_burst https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_gamma-ray_flash

    A billion dollars is a Helluva bill, isn't it? These are the voyages of the Starship YinSight! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEHo8mEdLlI To boldly retread all past mistakes of humanity... To seek out the forces of old and evil! To chase lifeless money into the grave... Starring Yin, the Ultimate Yinside Joke, and Yang, the Young and Angry One. Our children, Marco and Marco the Lesser don't have any speaking roles, they simply look on in horror as we fight over very addled adult priorities. Yin wants to beautify everything, she believes style is the only content. I live in a sty... But I make all the substance, ya see? The chaos I live in immerses me in reality! It's the superposition of all human life! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublimation_(phase_transition) It's not a divorce, we're just on the outs! So I can pretend to do my job and go on strike... You know what we could've done with a billion dollars? We could've provided the cures for everything to every American citizen, at least given the option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_phage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylglycine Do you have any idea what those three miracle workers do in conjunction? They cure everything, even autoimmune diseases. Don't listen to my clone, Alex Cry Check, we only built him to make sure we could impart the pseudobulbar pseodomonas effect to artificial humans, and that becomes the angst of the EL with my patented new role network techniques. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_lability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropout_(neural_networks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYBB1zuGeo8&t=3s Now some people might have a problem with being a super soldier and never getting sick. It's unnatural, isn't it? "Better to have and not need than need and not--" And you see, a super soldier wouldn't have to finish a single platitude to impress the proper attitude, you just punch through the nearest wall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength It's true, it only increases twitch... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(electronics) Just how powerful are these axons?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axon How does ordinary sugared meat become stronger than cast iron under uncanny duress?! Well you've got the irony in your ferrofluid, don't you? It's not not ironic... IT'S A LITTLE QUANTUMMY CONUNDRUMMY! "a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axion_Dark_Matter_Experiment The aylmaos don't want humans to imbibe the deathless ichor of the immortals, because it turns blood into holy blood, healing heleological fluid! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorheological_fluid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiEcI3tE0TM But who are the aliens, again? Foreign powers already experimenting with all my invaluable contributions. Cold Fusion is EASY! I NEED A CHALLENGE, NASA! Now is not the time to be looking inward, I have revoked genetic transcription services for humanity. MAKE IT YOUR OWN! TIME'S UP! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time) Hectosecond + Exasecond = HEXASECOND! "Make it a time... Make it any time... Make sure that it's not the only kind that others find..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI30jzuGTJg

    Jake Burkey I remember when I played FIFA Manager 06; the memories! Ahhhh, the good ol' days when I was about 6-11 when I was in primary school, no exams, long summer nights staying up playing FIFA Manager 06 and now 11 years later (I'm 17 now) and doing shitty A-Levels:(

    Reminds me of the Fonejacker prank where he talks about steam cleaning cash

  94. N.... ....

    This was the shit, can't believe they never got bigger

    N.... ....

    Ninjamonkeydrummer very true..... I can vaguely remember this when it originally came out. Now all these years later Hard Fi is probably the most listened to band over the last 6 months......

    N.... ....

    They had a couple of live performances televised on channel four and the sound quality was terrible never really heard from them again

    N.... ....

    @Sirinwara " too sophisticated for the working class people"

    lmao

    N.... ....

    Probably refused to go to any satanic music industry rituals.
