I completely disagree with the first interpretation because Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics are very involved with charity, live 8, an other organizations involved with helping those less fortunate so she would not advocate only taking care of yourself. In fact she mentions in the song how those more fortunate should help the poor and hungry...even though she has everything she needs she is hurting inside. She is talking about the disillusioned mentality of the American citizen.

Oh, how self centred. Not everything revolves around America, you know. She's a Scottish Brit, why would she be writing about Americans?

I think she's singing about depression from the point of a mother / who's feeling suicidal / but overcomes it: - there's a million mouths to feed but I've got everything I need / like a bomb sitting there too long you're bleeding / the bad things gone away
