The song is about how people waste their lives and the little time they have on earth to chase after useless things.
The writer observes people as they try to become famous or rich, stepping on each others toes in the process, and then contrasts that to the way he reflects on himself, realizing that the only meaningful thing he can accomplish is to be satisfied with himself.
all in all an AWESOME song, pearl jam is a great band with a great message.
