JK Sampson, the lead singer,said that the song was based on a movie script his friend was writing. I read it in an interview in Punk Planet.. he said "it started off as purely fiction. A friend of mine wrote a film scriipt and asked me to write a song for it. It was a script about various things, and it had a newspaper story to it. But I suddenly had this image of an activist, someone involved in politics, who passed out pamphlets on street corners and suddenly one day cracked and started churning out these pamphlets about his personal life."
