why is it that I have to go to urbandictionary to find the real meaning of the term?

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=left%20of%20centre

left of centre
Different. Not of the same opinion of most who just follow others.
I love how she does her own thing. Shes so left of centre

I had a sneaking suspicousness that my Autistic ass was inclined to take Suzanne Vega way too litterally on that song so I started to look up the term and this is all the official dictionaries spit ut:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/left%20of%20center

Definition of left of center
: believing that government should be active in supporting social and political change : having liberal views
His political views are slightly left of center.

well that would be true but I dont Suzanne Vega was referring to politics and if she was I don't think she was referring to it exclusively.

either way it describes me.
