GOF had a strong Marxist political philosophy, they're commenting on the temptation to give in to Capitalism by selling out and writing 'love songs.' The spoken word line 'what goes on between two people shouldn't be shrouded in mystery' refers to the fact that 'love songs' are basically shallow but are given a false sense of significance by trying to seem mysterious (sells more albums, no doubt). It's also a comparison between love songs and political songs, which might not be a guaranteed money maker, since they require the listener to have ACTUAL depth of thought. Like many GOF tunes, it's about the dumbing-down effects of Capitalism/ Consumerism on the psyche.
