I see a couple possible interpretations for this song, especially with the music video.
The first is simple and is just a moralistic story about not being an uncaring narcissistic douche. Kind of like Paul is in the video. Don't let striving for success or attaining it turn you into an unkind person, etc. Be true to yourself.
The second is interesting in that it could be about a person with a mental illness, which would explain the song name and a lot of the lyrics. The song and video could be an attempt to humanize them more than just saying 'they're crazy'. The video feels like the three band members have completely different personalities. One is self-centered and an angry hustler, another is kind and cheery and high status, and the last is kind of paranoid yet nice and reflective. Yet at the end of the video they all unite to play some kick ass music. Also, there's one part in the video where all of them are eating the same ice cream.
