I do go on about Brighton Rock a lot but the "uuh, that's what tradition means" reminds me of Pinky's disgust with the "ritual" of sex after having been exposed to his parents' Saturday night tradition in their one-roomed house, every Saturday night throughout his childhood. Pinky eventually forces himself to have sex because he feels he must because he is now married. So I think the character in this song is maybe forcing themself to have sex because they think it is the required thing to do.
