Totally self-explanatory, as stated before, but I would like to add that I don't think the focus is on how politicians are so terribly corrupt.
Rather, as the end lyrics suggest, it's really a song of regret... scorn for what they've become, certainly, but also hinting at the sad transformation so many politicians seem to go through, starting off well-meaning and idealistic but somewhere along the road abandoning the values that led to the original inception of their "Utopia," possibly without even realizing it.
"You FORGOT how to care... how to provide... how to work toward a meaningful life."
