This song has really started to grow on me. The bad people that Morrissey is refering to are the Conservatives especially that political party which were in power at the time he wrote the song. It is about their immorality and stopping people from having a chance is life. 'Once poor always poor' i think refers to Thatchers Conservative Britain where you were either extremely rich or poor, and could never relaly get out of the rut.
