To sum up previous assertions 1: The song is and always has been about Budd Dwyer. Proclaiming his innocence till the end, Dwyer showed great conviction in claiming his own life. Dwyer knew that killing himself before being forced to resign would entitle his family to his pension and insurance, to the tune of 3.9 million dollars(in 1984 exchange rates) which would ensure a decent life for his wife and kids. His family's finances were in tatters due to the cost of legal fees. Due to a loophole Dwyer was aloud to keep his Treasurer position until sentencing, which was to occur the next day. His reasons for suicide were rather noble as apposed to selfish. Dwyer was well respected and liked by his peers and constituents and his conviction was controversial and suspect.

Doesn't make any sense at all.

They think that your early ending was all wrong for the most part they're right but look how they all got strong (the men who set him up not only got off scott free but made a sh** load of cash). Those who were right there got a new kind of fear (Dwyer shot himself in front of a nationally televised live audience). (What you could have taught me may refer to his integrity). If he had plea bargained he would have faced a maximum of five years in prison, instead he maintained his innocence and faced fifty five years. Budd was accused of accepting a bribe, tried and convicted. The song is about Budd Dwyer, if you don't believe me look at the sites I have posted below.
