I disagree with the postings so far on this song. I think that the song is putting down materialism. The song is commenting that people have too much of nothing, and it is replacing the important things in life. Greed and materialism is making people act abnormally - mean, bad temper, pompous, think they are better than a king, etc. Their materialism is causing them to lose touch with real relationships - as in say hello to valerie, vivian, whatever her name is, just shower her with material goods and nothing else matters. Does anyone agree or disagree with this?
