The second part of the first verse to me seems to be the truth about a lot of people. Few people out there have the answers to problems(world, family, love, etc.), yet they go unheard because they're no one special, and people believe nothing is original anymore. It also to me means that the answers are just so obvious, yet we'd rather just not take action to fix anything, and instead we should just point the fingers. Eventually, we just look away from what has grown into a Sh*t mess, which a lot of people tend to do. They let a problem grow out of control and just look away, because it's easier to do so.
also, this song seems to be about two people, lovers. breaking up. The CHORUS to me, the first part anyway "first take what you want and then you throw it away, this is the way of their world" seems to be his lover, who he generalizes as a group of people - who gets what they want, and discards it.
The second part "don't know what you got till it's taken away" - to me is It hits him like a brick, cause he didn't realize what he had until his lover discarded him.
This song could be about so many things. World problems, love, family, friends, maybe people in general..
The first verse seems pretty easy to grasp.
