It's something along those lines but maybe its that he is actually sick of the subterranean culture, homesick for a normal life, if he was playing it straight he wouldn't have to be thinking of the government comin to get him,"man in a coonskin cap in a pig pen" has to go score drugs from this greasy bastard who lives in a pig pen like a slob and its just a pain in the ass cause the guy wants 11 dollars bills but hes only got ten. Maybe he regrets becoming a sort of spokesperson for this underground lifestyle cause it really doesn't accomplish shit so he says "don't be a bum you better chew gum"(maybe an alternative to drug use) "the pump don't work cause the vandals took the handles" rebellious vandals trying to fight the system by making life more difficult for everyone. The more I think about the lyrics the less clear it becomes, All I know is that I don't really know what it means.
