A song by Bruce Springsteen. Nothing man is said to be about how firefighters, police, EMT, soldiers etc. do so much for people, and expect so little in return, and still feel they are just like everyone else, just average joe's.
Adam's a firefighter, but still feels no one owes him anything, and that he is a regular guy. He is the nothing man.
