I think this song is about a drug dealer eschewing criticism of his career choice. He is vilified as benefiting off the downfall of others. But he argues that what he doing isn't that bad. Saying that what is not right for some people, is what other need (he does this by using an old saying "One man's treasure..."
He also argues that what people choose to do with their money, is their choice ("A man's own wage..."). He also says that what he is doing isn't any worse that what the world does to someone.
The first verse seems to show his manipulative ways. He is encouraging someone to ignore reality and to use the drugs as an escape. The "hot shot into your mouth" is a double entendre for both smoking the substance and how the girl may have to pay for the drugs (prostitution).
In the end, I think Andrew W.K. present both sides of the drug dealer and in the end you can see he is manipulative and underhanded.
