It’s a criticism of marriage/people getting married for superficial reasons when they’re both a mess (ie. in the song ‘she’ is chasing material shit and the status, ‘he’ is stringing her along and messing around with other women behind her back and is probably only in it for sex. She’s basically criticising the vapidity/shallowness of it all and that she can see through it on both sides, and that the whole pursuit is ‘fool’s gold’.

Well said, TBR.  In case it helps understand the choice of metaphor, I would add that Fool’s Gold is an actual mineral that has a similar appearance to gold, causing many “fools” to think they’ve struck it rich, when they’ve actually just found an attractive (yet worthless) lump of rock.
