This is a song about the worm's experience in the world living around the beautiful people. It goes along with the theme of The Dope Show
"There's lots of pretty, pretty ones that want to get you high. But all the pretty, pretty ones will leave you low, and blow your mind."
Pretty, pretty ones = the beautiful people
The song is taken from the worm's point of view.
"You cut off all of your fingers and trade them in for dollar bills.
Cake on some more make-up to cover up all those lines.
Wake up and stop shaking because you're just wasting time."
This is about the lifestyle he lives, as he had grown up knowing only this lifestyle. He only knew self-satisfaction and drugs because he was raised to believe he needed them.
"Don't you want some of this? Don't you need some of this?"
Basically, its the beautiful people selling people drugs to keep them "sedated" from the reality of how tyrannical they are.
"You take but cannot be given.
You ride but cannot be ridden.
Pinch this tiny heart of mine, and wrap it up in soiled twine.
You never read what you've written."
The worm begins to realise what it is the beautiful people are doing to the masses, and that he'd been living a lie.
"I'll be your lover, I'll be forever, I'll be tomorrow, I am anything when I'm high."
How the drugs he's sold makes him feel. Another line about him realising the lies he'd been living.
"You shove your hair down my throat.
I feel your fingers in me.
Tear this bitter fruit to mess, and wrap it in your soiled dress.
Now you must spit out the seeds."
More about the worm realising what had been happening.
He slowly begins to realise the way he'd been living, and others as well.
