It's about addiction (sexual and/or drugs), self hate, lack of self esteem and inability to cope with the day to day challenges this world deals everyone on an everyday basis. This song is about tragedy and being down on your life in general. Using others (the prostitute - that aint no stripper), drugs and all. The fame part is the power trip that every man - be he a politician or not - seams to believe he possesses over women and objects ... Giving money for sex is a power trip. And the fact that the character is a politician just is a way for the director to portray that power in the video.
This is a video portrayal of inner pain manifesting itself in drugs and sex. Remember Elliot Spitzer? Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski?
Many men have secret lives. I'd say about 75% of them. Anywhere from mild - like riding a motor bike or taking ballet on weekends - to dressing up in a wig and mini skirt, painting their nails or using sex and prostitutes to 'ease' their daily frustrations or yes, pain.
The lyrics are intense and in your face. Make no mistake about it, this song is about addiction - pure inner pain.
