i think this song is about drug addiction. perhaps marvin gaye's own drug addiction. i love the line: well i know i'm hooked, my friend, to the boy who makes slaves out of men" slaves out of men. yeah, that's what addiction does to you. working and working for no gain, really, tiring yourself out, you're under the control of something/one other than yourself. what you do is merely for "it". strong lyrics. i love marvin gaye.
