I think it's mainly about the Greed of people, and how they can become completely overcome by it. They set a goal for their greed which is truly unattainable and it drives everything in their life.
The story/song is about a man that found an enormous single diamond (diamond as big as the Ritz), and became consumed and controlled by his greed and desire to protect the diamond. He became a slave to it, committing horrendous acts because of his greed.
"Greed can crumble your castle walls
Greed can purchase you thrills
Power is a dangerous drug
It can maim, it can kill
It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream
If you take one look behind the shine
It doesn't always gleam
It was a diamond as big as the Ritz
What you gonna do with this
Tell me, who's goin' to save you
When you're a slave to a
Diamond as big as the Ritz"
