I think this song is about what happens to people when they become so obsessed with financial and social success that they lose their humanity. It truly is a sickness. I've witnessed it firsthand. Some of the most financially successful people that I know have gotten there with an equal amount of hard work and inferiority complexes.

The song title is great. By not looking down at your own humanity, you can convince yourself that all that matters in life is the plaques on your wall and the amount of money in your 401K.
