It's hard for me to say what this song is about. I think it's about status. Some people are well off and obsessed with their posessions ("While we maintain this materialistic paradise") whereas some people are poor and struggle to survive ("Everyday is hard, Hard for you to survive"). The people who are well off often don't consider those who aren't ("The fact that they don't care"). I think this song is about someone who actually does care for someone who is poor and wonders what it would be like in that type of situation ("I went to sleep last night wondering how I'd feel. If the world came crawling down on me.")
This is my favorite song ever!
