A couple of possibilities:

a) Narrator says: They all did.  They survived (by and large).  Why are
they making it such a big deal for us?

b) From "Photo Jenny": "They got the drugs I could use but then I don't
need any".  Except I think he sings "want".  So you can take it either
way.  That is, the narrator has some already.  Or the narrator has no
interest.

Regarding "The State I am In", I have not seen anyone raise the
possibility that the narrator has an interest in, shall we say, the
younger generation.

I don't think these songs have any one, correct interpretation.
