Geez, can't believe such a great song generated only a handful comments.
I think the song is about hypocrisy, like many other Lennon's songs. In particular, politicians (but also other Lennon's "enemies" like businessmen) may appear fun, normal, lively people but inside they're rotten, and they can't hide that. After the hype of the election, there are just too many characters to mention who fit the bill.
