Beautiful Folk singer ambigious to Austrian reference in lyrics.

I was listening to some folk music by Greg Brown on his album "Further In" and he sang something that struck a chord with me.

"We have no knowledge and so we have stuff, and stuff with no knowledge is never enough."

At first read this line could read as a lyrically beautiful critique of materialism. However on a second and third read through when you apply Hayek's theory on the use of knowledge in our society it kind of reads as if Greg Brown is a bohemian-anti-materialist who recognizes that society can't function without the use of knowledge in our society. I feel myself slipping into thinking about knowledge in terms of the individual when I read this line. If Hayek were here he would kick me back to thinking about knowledge as a dispersed diffused resource throughout our society.
