I’ve only recently paid close attention to the lyrics, seems to me this song is about money, on the surface, but it’s really about self-love/having a “purpose” other than making dough. The artistically inclined, the goal-oriented, those with a...reason for being that excludes the Rat Race?

A second-cousin to the latter-day “The Greatest Love Of All”? Not EXACTLY the same subject matter, but close.
