This song is a reflection of our society. Corrupted by capitalism, we all leave our nice, cozy, simple lives, in the search for the greater gold. Money. Money = happiness...or so many of us tend to believe. Money = power, and this is true...unfortunately...and this power leads to a sense of pride...of superiority. (A sense of false superiority in my view.) Anyways, my point is, this life a riches may, and probably will, bring us many things, but never fulfillment, which is what we are all searching for...and this monkey is realizing he may be rich, he may be proud, but maybe that's not what he needs, maybe the simple branches of home would have been enough.
