I think that it is about greed, but not necessaily about wanting everything and trying to take all. I see it ass a reference to coporate america and the ceo's and such who see it as their life goal to ammass a great wealth. So what if they are greedy, Thats not what the song is about. Its the fact that these people although are kings in society and socially, are kings of nothing. They have no community, no family, nothing to love, and no one to love them back. They dont donate becuase they want to, if they do only becuase its social protocol. Thats what it means to me. They have everything but they don't know whats important and are kings, but kings of nothing (of actual value)
