Story behind the song

A song about the increasing gas prices.

Lyrics

I pulled into a station down on fifth avenue,
to get a tank of gas and a Mountain Dew.
I slammed on my breaks when I saw that sign.
It said, 'Regular unleaded: $3.09'

I pulled up to the pumps with a real bad feelin'.
For the first time in my life, I thought about stealing.
Instead I got out and screamed into the intercom.
"Hey man, what's goin' on?"

You must be crazy.  You must be out of your mind.
It's down right un-american.  You robbin' people blind.
How do you think a workin' mans supposed to live?
Somethin's gotta give.  Somethin's gotta give.

I got back in my car and took off down the street.
Thinking, 'Surely that's a price that someone else can beat.
It only took a minute to see that I was wrong, 'cause it kept gettin' worse as I rode along.
I saw $3.17 and $3.21.
If this was a game well it sure wasn't fun.
I may have to borrow and I may have to beg, 'cause I just saw a sign that's askin' for and arm and a leg.

You must be crazy.  You must be out of your mind.
It's down right un-american.  Your robbin' people blind.
How do you think a workin' man is supposed to live.  
Somethin's gotta give.  Somethin's gotta give.

Everytime I turn around somebody's holdin' out their hand, askin' for my money but they just don't understand.
You can't get blood from a turnip, or money from blood.
If my wallet was a firecracker, it would be a dud.

You must be crazy.  You must be out of your mind.
It's down right un-american, your robbin' people blind.
How do you think a workin' man is supposed to live?  
Somethin's gotta give.  Somethin's gotta give.
Somethin's gotta give.
Wooo!  Guess it's time to start walking.
