If we adhere to the structure of the song we can extrapolate meaning from the 'demonstration' stanza . What the demonstrators WANT is supplanted by what they NEED which is to "vent" their "frustrations" hence, the refrain . What is puzzling is Jagger's, "...to get my fair share of abuse." The default position {aka "the EZ way out"} is to attribute this puzzle to authtorial prerogative meaning author's secret . I do so now .
It is imperative to remember this line : "...to get your prescription filled" . This indicates that the entire song is Jagger relating his observations to his friend which I consider to be female although there is NO evidence of this . This Song is for his friend, much more than a recounting, a SLEDGE-HAMMERING* to impress upon his friend the words of the refrain . It MAY be that his friend his akin to the wine drinking blood dealer, an addict perhaps or one under the influence of some other addiction .
The final line is : "Ah yeah, do that" which is set case for "TRY" {to get straight ?}.... and so we have come "full circle".
