    Lets start off with the lyrics, shall we?

    "They say misery loves company
    We could start a company
    And make misery, Frustrated Incorporated
    I know just what you need
    I might just have the thing
    I know what you'd pay to see

    Put me out of my misery
    I'd do it for you, Would you do it for me?
    We will always be busy, making misery

    We could build a factory, and make misery
    We'll create the cure, we made the disease
    Frustrated Incorporated, Frustrated Incorporated

    I know just what you need
    I might just have the thing
    I know what you'd pay to feel

    Put me out of my misery
    Suicide kings and drama queens
    Forever after happily making misery

    Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
    Was it only envy, so empty

    Frustrated incorporated...

    I'd do it for you, would you do it for me?"

    The way I interpret the song, is that its a song about suicide. Obvisouly "they" are miserable, and the "I'd do it for you, would you do it for me" to me means that he would put the other out of his misery if the other would put him out of his misery.

    This is just my interpretation.
