"The song is about political strife, and Jagger allegedly wrote it about Tariq Ali after Jagger attended several of Ali's demonstrations. In 1987, Ali released an autobiography of the 1960's entitled Street Fighting Years, which gives credence to the theory that the song was inspired by Ali's public demonstrations. "
