Anyway, this is obviously about capitalism, and the dominance of the West in the global economy - the Western nations being "consumers, and all others being consumed". Eventually, nothing will be free - air, dreams, life. The chorus simply exemplifies the message - that we will keep on deriving from those less fortunate than us, although in the natural, non-economic world, our money and investments and exploitation would simply fall apart ("...whilst in the real world you...rot!!"). I think, overall, this is about the intricate financial web that Capitalism has spun, and if the threads fade, we would simply fall to earth.
Anyway, I think I distorted the message a bit, but that's just my 2 cents.
Love the chorus!
