I always interpreted this song as an expression of dissapointment in parents and authority figures. I know that sounds terribly emo - but it makes sense, with the lyrics.
"The ones who made us are always looking for the ones who made them" seems to describe our preoccupation with the people who made us and raised us - our mothers try not to turn into their mothers, as we try not to turn into them. And the repeated line "Sorry that they/we didn't tell you about the world" shows how our parents failures become our own. Et al.
