We're brought up to want and want and want, living in a capitalist society that teaches us always to push ahead, even if it means back-stabbing everyone on the way. The lyrics bring this across quite easily, saying how we're brought up to want so many things we can't have, and in the end we're left with "a broken dream, a shattered cause, a might have been."
It's about the lies we're fed, that we can do anything in life, and that we all have equal chances, when in reality we can't and don't.
