This song is about how we all strive for such banal things as pretty, shiny cars and the like. This drives us into debt and unhappiness.
When we 'love' and enjoy life, and try to lead it outside of the bourgeois-style idea of success and happiness, we become happy and we learn to live on much less
"cause when our hearts are full we need much less."
In case you were wondering, bourgeois means the affluent middle-class, it's a derogative term meaning a senseless, materialistic way to live. It's not considered a good thing to be regarded as part of the bourgeoisie.
