Pumpin' 4 the Man Lyrics
it's a nine mile walk
from the office to the pumps
sometimes you think you're gonna drop
in the end you're filthy dirty
horny and pissed off
and before you can leave u gotta sweep the fuckin' shop
it's a real real bitch
to be workin' 4 the man
but shit i do it well so what the fuck
i could probly wash dishes
at some other fuckin' dump
but it's all the same to me
bustin' ass 2 make a buck
so read 'em up + stick 'em
pump that fucker good
some woman down on main st. needs a jump
get your fingers outta your ass
and pump some faggot's gas
and think about how bad new hope sucks
it's a piss poor life
when the ladies fire u up
and then u check their oil and know you're fucked
'cuz no one wants a loser
who works for 5 an hour
smells like gas, looks like shit
works in the rain - rude as hell
i can fix a tire like hurricane melinda
i know that i'm the best for what it's worth
so if i choose to help you
don't look like you expect it
'cuz it's a gift that god gave me at birth
so read 'em up + stick 'em
pump that fucker good
some woman down on main st. needs a jump
get your fingers outta your ass
and pump some faggot's gas
and think about how bad new hope sucks
REPEAT
from the office to the pumps
sometimes you think you're gonna drop
in the end you're filthy dirty
horny and pissed off
and before you can leave u gotta sweep the fuckin' shop
it's a real real bitch
to be workin' 4 the man
but shit i do it well so what the fuck
i could probly wash dishes
at some other fuckin' dump
but it's all the same to me
bustin' ass 2 make a buck
pump that fucker good
some woman down on main st. needs a jump
get your fingers outta your ass
and pump some faggot's gas
and think about how bad new hope sucks
when the ladies fire u up
and then u check their oil and know you're fucked
'cuz no one wants a loser
who works for 5 an hour
smells like gas, looks like shit
works in the rain - rude as hell
i know that i'm the best for what it's worth
so if i choose to help you
don't look like you expect it
'cuz it's a gift that god gave me at birth
pump that fucker good
some woman down on main st. needs a jump
get your fingers outta your ass
and pump some faggot's gas
and think about how bad new hope sucks

Deaner used to pump gas at a gas station. I think that's where he met his wife...
I live in New Hope, the same town that Dean and Gene grew up in. They're probably referencing working at the gas station (what is now a Lukoil) and how much the service industry blows, especially how customers don't seem to appreciate the work the employees do for them. Also, New Hope is renowned for its Gay community (the gas station is right next to a Gay Bar), which might be the "faggots" who're getting their gas from Dean.
ahhh, this is a great song. "Pumpin' 4 the Man" says it all.
But wait.... "it's a real real bitch to be workin' 4 the man "
so true!
Interesting story in this one.
