I love this song. It seems to be comparing a relationship to soviet Russia, or possibly nazi Germany. It starts off with a joyous "revolution of hearts and minds", when they are young and in love, and everything is happy, and they have a wonderful future to look forward to, as they thought they did after the Russian revolution, but soon "the rot sets in, mistrust and suspicion". As time goes by the partners stop feeling the relationship and just start acting ("The freedom to say whatever we like, replaced with the recital of lines") to avoid persecution from the other half ("the secret police").
