Lyric discussion by Joe K.  

This song is about resisting one's own greed for money and thus denying its power to control one's life. Many people's lives are controlled by the desire to accumulate more and more money until they become a slave to it's allure. Many Nine Nails song are ultimately about powerlessness of the self--the internal desires that often bring destruction and unhappiness into one's life.
