No.
Makes references to a boy-girl relationship. "Come at ya. Down that dusty road. A ton a lovin. I got a truckload ...I m a soul man..."
No. If Wikipedia is to be believed, this song is inspired by the Civil Rights Movement. Thank you for playing.

I could probably name a million songs that aren't about love. I could be here all day.
Misfits - Skulls is a song about a man who loves to collect human skulls.
...oh wait...maybe "love" isn't the word I meant... 
There are plenty of songs that don't have words, and aren't really about anything at all.

Still doesn't count.
At least that's my understanding of how were doing it here.
If its ostensibly a song about a boy girl relationship it wouldn't count even if there was a political subtext. "Soul Man", and "Rescue Me" were both inspired by the Civil RIghts Movement of the Sixties but both are ostensibly love songs in the lyrics. In contrast songs like "We Shall Over Come" (also associated with the Civil Rights Movement) are straight up political anthems, and thus they would count as being on our list of "songs not about love". Or that's my interpretation of the unspoken "rules" here.
Not sure how to classify "Big Yellow Taxi" (they paved paradise and put up a parking lot). Lol!
