Nah - not about drugs kids. this song is about the being takin in a transaction of some kind when they were naive and trusting...prob record deal that they realized too late...
"Now I know why you've been shakin'" = think of a salesman shaking your hand smiling and being your best friend so he can get you to sign the contract
"So bleed your heart out" - speaking to himself here
"There's no more rides for free" - he wants to get paid what he is worth
"Bleed your heart out"
"I said what's in it for me, what's in it for me" - whats in it for me? meaning if there is a deal in the future they arent gonna do it until they make sure they get theirs first.
Not every song by a rock band is about drugs - although now that thislegendary grunge artist is dead from drug induced suicide I guess it is a weak argument to allot of people...but rememebr this song was written in 1990 when they were just beginning to break out.
@mo_chitlins definitely don't think it is about drugs. Your interpretation is interesting ... I think sometimes artists leave details out so that an individual can relate to it in their own life too (that is by making it a bit ambiguous we can apply it to our lives ... whereas if written explicitly about a record deal we wouldn't be able too).
