I love this one. So cynical...and so true. The "hungry ghost" is of course greed, desire for fame, etc.
I especially love the line "A home plugged into every home." Totally reminds me of how all those people in the States were using subprime rates to buy second homes they would never ever ever be able to pay off. (Indeed, I seem to recall that ugly episode was right around the time this album was released!)
One other thing...the lines from the refrain:
No, don't talk about more to life than this,
Dream a world maybe no-one owns
remind me so much of a particular verse of John Lennon's "Imagine:"
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
