Hippychick Lyrics
It's hard to tell you how I feel without hurting you
So try to think about yourself the way that I see you
You're life revolves around the force of oppression
And I won't deal with the true blue devils of correction
Got no flowers for your gun
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick
No hippychick
No, hip hip hip hip hip
Today, we'll sit here drinking coffee in your incident room
Tonight, you'll close the door and lock me in that bare bulb gloom
Love, it ain't something riding on a motorbike
And love, I stopped loving you since the miners' strike
Got no flowers for your gun
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick
No hippychick
No, hip hip hip hip hip hop
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard
No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick
So try to think about yourself the way that I see you
You're life revolves around the force of oppression
And I won't deal with the true blue devils of correction
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick
No hippychick
No, hip hip hip hip hip
Tonight, you'll close the door and lock me in that bare bulb gloom
Love, it ain't something riding on a motorbike
And love, I stopped loving you since the miners' strike
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick
No hippychick
No, hip hip hip hip hip hop
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip
No hippychick

The famous photo of the female hippy putting daisies in the barrels of national guardsmen’s rifles is the reference.
[Edit: Clarity]
It seems to me the narrator doesn't want to be responsible for changing someone else. She seems to offering guidance to her partner to find his/her own insights through self-examination, but she is not so interesting in doing lots of hard work for someone she is no longer that into.
For example, it seems her lover didn't have care too much about the miner's during their famous strike(s) during the 80s. The song doesn't say what opinion or reaction puts off the narrator, but in song lyrics the narrator usually doesn't get upset because their partner is putting people over money, so my bet is the lyric suggests her partner puts selfishness over fairness and that is something her partner would have to work on in his/her own time.
She is done with the relationship.
