Personally, I believe the song is about the general collective greed of man. Everyone always wants and wants and wants. Then they get it all and find out they can't handle it ("You Bit More Than You Need"), thereby choking on it ("Now You're Choking On A Bad Seed"). This song means a lot to me and I feel that I have witnessed and suffered a lot of people's greed. Which is why I got the song name "Bad Seed" tattooed on my arm with the Metallica ninja star.
