i see this song in 2 ways. i agree with above posters who think that this song discribes the average individual trying to find whatever it takes to make them happy...trusting in all these things but never finding it. and the some just get away meaning some ppl either give up or never bother with going thru all that crap.
the other way i see this song is: each thing discribes a different person or type of person. that for each person it takes something different or particular to make him or her happy. so some ppl need violence, some need fear, some need love, some need god etc. and the some just get away line refers to ppl dont need/ bother with any of these things and are happy anyway. i take that line to mean that those ppl are somehow luckier than the rest.

i could be wrong but that's my perception.
