'Gorgeous poverty of created needs'

^One of my favourite Manics lyrics. I think it refers to our greed-based society, where we strive to have too much, and luxuries have come to be seen as necessities.

The media gives 'Access to a living you will not see' in an attempt to get us to consume ever more. But if people lived more modestly there would be more to go around - 'all you need' is less than people think.
