No no no. This is a song about the music industry, specifically the rock scene how it was in 1995, after Nirvana. What were bands like Soul Asylum doing but exploiting their own misery and selling it to poor unhappy teens? Pain and angst were really popular at the time. To underline the point, I believe the music video was a factory boxing up a whole bunch of Soul Asylum CDs.
Further more, the song is about its about Nirvana, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. Kurt pulled the trigger in April 94, the song came out in June 95.
Lets review;
"Frustrated, Incorporated" - Nirvana and the whole Grunge scene
"Well I know just what you need, I might just have the thing, I know what you'd pay to see" - Kurt
"We could build a factory and make misery, We'll create the cure; we made the disease" Grunge and the record industry
"Suicide kings and drama queens" - Kurt and Courtney

you are absolutely right. the part where he says I know what you'd pay to feel
you are absolutely right. the part where he says I know what you'd pay to feel
Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Who will pay? its us the fans who pay for the music.
I always listened to this as a "love" song where I used to relate it to my ex girl friend who was always "making misery"
Damn after 20 years I realized the true meaning of the song. Well its just an example of how one can intepret these "miserable" songs to be miserable.
