Check out all the allusions to advertising, commercials, buying and selling stuff (because Lukasa is right about that line), etc. I think it's about commercialism.
And maybe about having to sell yourself, ie, to market your album/concert tour/t-shirts/cruise: "I'm the product this song's about, and I'm the product this song's about to be."
And--this one's a stretch--maybe there's a little bit of regret about having sold rights to so many BnL songs for commercials. (Everyone I know knows $1,000,000, but about 4 of them know that it was a BnL song before it was that NY Lottery jingle. And I've told 3 of those 4 myself.)
