In these lyrics, the protagonist is talking to her partner, who she says is a liberal. She says that they were together during protests and demonstrations, fighting for better working conditions and rights. But when it came time to take more radical action, like throwing bricks through a Starbucks window, her partner backed out and left her alone.

She says that they have different beliefs in politics and that she won't marry someone who supports the government.
