Lyric discussion by purrbiscuit 

I can see it as being more about people who are driven by materialism rather than religion. They see anyone who doesn't feel the need to succeed financially as being misguided.

You sir are correct!!! The industry and the people who run it and are part of it judge success by wealth. They worship money and the things it buys. They do not realize, or maybe even care, what they sacrificed in their lives to do so. Lennon and quite a few others did. Some would argue that he had so much money that it really didn't matter anymore. To the industry slaves, it can never be enough.

I think what "telengard" said about the music industry is very generally true, and sad as hell. Many of them worship money and don't care about people/relationships they've sacrificed in their lives. Would they care if the world actually found out just how scummy they are? I think they would.

I also know there happen to be many good people in the music industry.
