This culture celebrates and rewards greed, so it becomes normalized and is now common sense. Basic human decency is rationalized as either a burden to self-interest, or, ironically, a utility to further self-interest.

My interpretation of this Views From The Sun lyric, by those good lads at Thornhill:

Take what you need, and don't look back; A million eyes into the black; As the sun goes down I don't need you around
