Fast cars and guitars to play
Expressing the desire for materialistic pleasures such as fast cars and guitars.
Who cares about the price we pay
Questioning the significance of the costs or consequences associated with these desires.
Good jobs for big wads to spend
Highlighting the pursuit of lucrative jobs and the inclination to spend extravagantly.
It's the priorities of this selfish world we live in
Commenting on the self-centered priorities prevalent in the contemporary world.
We must hold the wealth of the world
Emphasizing the importance of holding worldly wealth with a sense of detachment.
Loosely in the palm of our hands
Suggesting a loose grip on material possessions as a metaphor for a humble perspective.
When it's all gone, there's just one thing that remains
