No way do I think this song's about addiction. To me this song's about greed and capitalism and how people set themselves up for a fall by trying to climb "the greasy pole" of success and the disdain that people with money and success feel about others below them.
I think it uses prospectors in the gold rush in the US as a metaphor for this.
