Well I was at Bonnaroo this past weekend and saw the greatness that is John Butler Trio and he happened to explain this song. He said it is about going out to get that one thing like a new car or that new stereo for that car and thinking once you get it everything will be ok. Then once you get it you realize it's not good enough so you have to get that next big thing like a new big TV or something and he is singing about how it is an illness and everyone can be better then their material possessions.
Kinda reminds me of Diamonds On The Inside by Ben Harper about how what you have doesn't really mean anything. Life should be about your friends, family and having a fun time.
