I think this song warns of the corruption of our leaders, and the peoples general disillusionment and complacency in regards to politics. We turn away from the "Castles" which are the centers of political power, and take the path of least resistance. While corrupt politicians spread fear, lies, and corruption in our society. Rush is saying that people are going to have to start caring, and acting in order for real positive change to occur in our society.
